Appendix: Reports
Applies To: Operations Manager 2007
The Power Management Pack includes a Power Consumption Report and a Power Consumption Detail Report. Allow up to 30 minutes for reports from a new management pack to appear in the Reporting console.
You can use the following parameters to customize the reports: start date and time, end date and time, time zone, CO2 per kWh, CO2 unit, and object list.
The Power Consumption Report produces a chart and table. The chart shows the maximum capacity, power budget, and unmonitored power consumption of the power set, as well as the aggregate power consumption of monitored devices. The table contains the following data:
| Column | Note |
|---|---|
Device |
Device name You can click the device name in the Power Consumption Report to view the Power Consumption Detail Report for the selected device. |
Average (Watts) |
Average power consumption |
Min (Watts) |
Minimum power consumption |
Max (Watts) |
Maximum power consumption |
kWh |
Power consumption in kilowatts for the period of the report |
CO2 (lbs) |
Carbon footprint Carbon footprint is a measure of the impact activities have on the environment. In this report, the CO2 data is an estimate of the CO2 emissions of the power set. This data is useful for comparative analysis. For example, run the report to establish a baseline value before implementing power-saving measures. You can then use this data in subsequent reports to evaluate the effectiveness of the power-saving measures that you implement. To determine the appropriate value to enter for the CO2 per kWh parameter of the report, contact your power company or use an online calculator such as the one provided on the United States Environmental Protection Agency Web site. |
The Power Consumption Detail Report produces a chart and a table. The chart graphs power consumption for a single power supply. The table contains the following data:
| Column | Note |
|---|---|
Interval |
The date and time for the data sample |
Sample Count |
The number of samples of power consumption measured during an interval |
Min Value |
The lowest amount of power used |
Max Value |
The highest amount of power used |
Average Value |
The average amount of power used |
Standard Deviation |
Indicates variation from the mean value |
