FAQ

Good to know.

Is PowerEdge Monitor really free?

Yes. It is offered free of charge, without a subscription or activation requirement. Review the included license terms for conditions of use.

Does it require Dell OpenManage?

No. You can use iDRAC Redfish on compatible servers without installing OMSA inside Windows.

Will I receive emails when everything is healthy?

No. Routine healthy checks are silent. New warnings and critical faults can generate alerts based on your settings.

Does it upload server data to a cloud service?

The monitoring application is designed to check locally configured interfaces and deliver messages through the SMTP server you configure. No PowerEdge Monitor cloud account is required.
