Abstract: Embodiments provide unique identification of telemetry reports generated by components of an IHS (Information Handling System) that supports a plurality of metric data sources. A source of metric data is detected, where the source may be a fixed or replaceable IHS component. The metric source is identified within a device descriptor table maintained by a remote access controller of the IHS. Based on a unique user-friendly label that is associated with the metric data source in the device descriptor table, the metric source is configured to generate metric reports. The generated metric reports are received and the label provided by the metric source is used to store data from the metric reports in a database row using the label as a unique database key. The user-friendly label can be used to perform efficient database queries without using a separate database column for storing a user-friendly description of the metric source.

Abstract: Telemetry system metric data that is collected within a data center may be collectively analyzed in order to identify zones within the data center that exhibit deviations in reported metric data. The analyzed metric data is collected from IHSs (Information Handling Systems), such as servers, operating in the data center. The metric data reported by the respective IHSs identifies the location the IHS within the data center. The collected metric data is analyzed to identify metrics that are correlated with locations within the data center. Within the identified metric data that is correlated with data center locations, a zone of the data center is identified that includes a subset of IHSs that have reported anomalous metric data relative to the metric data reported by neighboring IHSs. For instance, such a zone may be an aisle of the data center, one or more racks, and/or rows of servers spanning multiple racks.

Abstract: A method and system for multivariate profile-based host operational state classification. Specifically, the disclosed method and system entail the generation of non-geometric shapes derived from operational state inferring features reflective of at least a portion of host device telemetry aggregated for host devices. The non-geometric shapes may subsequently be mapped onto a high-dimensional feature space and, thereafter, assigned into clusters representative of given target operational states that may be exhibited by the host devices. Based on identified operational states, assigned to the non-geometric shapes, reactive actions may be invoked to address or rectify operations and/or configurations on the host devices.
