Propagate hardware status

This may be a simple answer but, we monitor a whole bunch of Dell servers in NPM. Each Dell server has OpenManage installed, and all this status information is visible if I drill down into the server under 'Current Hardware Health'. If a disk fails or a PSU faults, the status will be updated here as expected. All good so far. The problem is, alerts generated here are not propagated up through to the home (or NOC) screen, where I'd like to see them showing under 'Nodes with Problems' for example. The home screen will show problems with down nodes, or ethernet interfaces that's aren't responding, but is there a way to get the hardware health status to show here too?

Thanks

Take a look at this video if you do a list resources on the node you should see "Hardware Health Sensors"

Thanks for the reply. Those links are useful, but don't actually tell you how to bump hardware health info up to the home page, so if there's a problem, you can actually see it clearly. What I really what to see is when a hardware component enters a warning or error state, for it to appear under 'Nodes with Problems'.
