Monitoring Performance Index of CPU, Memory, and I/O Modules

In 13th generation Dell PowerEdge servers, Intel ME provides support for Compute Usage Per Second (CUPS) functionality. The CUPS functionality provides real-time monitoring of CPU, memory and I/O utilization and system-level utilization index for the system. Since it is done by Intel ME, it is independent of the OS and does not consume CPU resources. The Intel ME has a system CUPS sensor which provides the Computation, Memory and I/O resource utilization value as CUPS Index. iDRAC monitors this CUPS index for the overall system utilization and also monitors the instantaneous value of CPU, Memory, and I/O utilization index.

Utilization information of system resources is obtained by querying the data from a set of dedicated counters provided by the CPU and chipset. These counters are called Resource Monitoring Counters or RMCs. These counters are aggregated by the node manager to measure the cumulative utilization of each of these system resources that is read from the iDRAC using existing inter-communication mechanisms to provide these vital data through out-of-band management interfaces.

Since Intel sensor representation of performance parameters and index values are for complete physical system, performance data representation on the interfaces is for the complete physical system, even if the system is virtualized and hosting multiple virtual hosts.

To display the performance parameters, the supported sensors must be present in the server.
