Why using Hardware Sentry and its Grafana dashboards?
Hardware Sentry:
- supports over 100 platforms from the oldest to the more recent ones: Cisco, Dell EMC, IBM, Hitachi, HP, NetApp, Pure, etc. See full list.
- is a 100% software solution for energy usage monitoring (NO PDUs required).
Key Features
- Hardware Monitoring: Detect and even predict failures in processors, memory modules, disks, network cards, controllers, power supplies, fans, temperature sensors, etc.
- Energy Usage: Assess the power consumption of the monitored host, even if it is not equipped with power sensors.
- Carbon Emissions: Accurately determine the carbon emissions of the monitored host.
- Temperature: Assess the temperature of the monitored host.
Use Cases
- Detect all hardware failures
- Assess the energy usage and carbon emissions of a specific host
- Detect overheating risks for hosts
