Hello,
I was trying to figure out how I could monitor wattage consumption off ALL servers in my Data Center? I found so information about Cisco Products but nothing more. Any help or direction would be great!
Depends on which specific models and brands of servers you have, but most of the newer IPMI systems report on power consumption. If you have the vendor software installed for the server type (Dell/OMSA, HP/Insight, etc) and you have enabled hardware health on the server you can check and see if the power consumption comes through. Might or might not. On the other side of the coin you could use a PDU or UPS that makes that information available via SNMP.
