Instrumentation Service

The Instrumentation Service provides rapid access to detailed fault and performance information gathered by industry- standard systems management agents and allows remote administration of monitored systems, including shutdown, startup, and security.

Remote Access Controller

The Remote Access Controller provides a complete remote system management solution for systems equipped with the Dell Remote Access Controller (DRAC) or Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)/Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) solution. The Remote Access Controller provides remote access to an inoperable system, allowing you to get the system up and running as quickly as possible. The Remote Access Controller also provides an alert notification when a system is down and allows you to remotely restart the system. Additionally, the Remote Access Controller logs the probable cause of system crashes and saves the most recent crash screen.

Logs

Server Administrator displays logs of commands issued to or by the system, monitored hardware events, and system alerts. You can view logs on the home page, print or save them as reports, and send them by e-mail to a designated service contact.
