Data center views

In the Data View window, users have several different ways to view general and detailed data relating to sensors, including real-time and historical data. Administrators can perform additional operations.

The HP Insight Environmental Observer provides all users with several different ways to view both high- level and detailed data relating to all sensors, including real-time data and historical data, in the Data View window. Administrators have privileges to perform a few additional operations.

The data center views include:

•PUE View—(Optional) Data center metrics that show current and past power consumption based on cooling, IT loads, general building lighting, and power loss. This view is only visible if PUE options are configured.

•Overview—Also known as a floor plan, the virtual map of sensor distribution at either data center or zone level.

•Pre-Defined Metrics View—Data center metrics that are not sensor data, but use the data collected to provide visibility of the efficiency of the various aspects of the data center.

•Imaging View—Static or animated images of live and historical sensor reading for either data center or zone level, overlaid on the Overview tab.

•Active Alerts—A list of active alerts that have not been cleared automatically or manually.

•Alert History—A list of all alerts, including cleared alerts and active alerts.

•Wireless Sensor Network—The communication routes and status information for all wireless devices installed in the network.

•PDU—A list of all PDUs installed in that zone, and their associated power data.

•BCMS—(Optional) A list of all BCMS devices installed in that data center, and their associated current, power, and power factor data for each monitored electrical panel.

Within each view, actions performed by the user affect what Observer displays.

PUE tab

The PUE view is an optional view that only displays if energy meters are installed and PUE options are configured. The view only exists at a data center level, and cannot be viewed from the individual zones.

Power consumption is divided into many categories, such as cooling power, IT power, general lighting, and power loss through transformers.
