NPM 9.5 w/Cisco EnergyWise displays ZERO for Device Power Consumption

Can anyone think of a reason why my Cisco Catalyst 3750 which shows a status of EnergyWise enabled in Solarwinds displays zero for Device Power Consumption?

Sorry for the delay, so you have EW enabled on any ports or just the chassis?

Just the Chassis

Try enabling/configuring a port. Initial EnergyWise is about power consumption at the PoE port level and less the chassis level

That makes sense, but even Cisco's non-PoE devices support energywise so how's that suppose to work?

I seem to be having the same issue.

At the chassis level:

HPL-2S-SPARE-3750#sho energywise
Interface   Role              Name                  Usage      Lvl   Imp Type
---------   ----              ----                  -----      ---   --- ----
            Test3750          Test_Enegywise        89.0 (W) 5     5    parent

At the Interface level:

HPL-2S-SPARE-3750#sho run int fa1/0/1
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 166 bytes
!
interface FastEthernet1/0/1
energywise level 5
energywise importance 5
energywise role TEST
energywise keywords TEST,DHCR
energywise name Test_Energywise

Yet, on the Energywise Summary, I get "No Data for selected time period"

If I drill into the EW enabled node, I get the same Power Consumption as Al.

If I drill into the interface, I get EnergyWise Details, EnergyWise POlicy Overview Calendar, but not data for power consumption.

Is anyone having any success with EW?

Hi,

We have heard of (and seen) customers successfully being able to view and manage their EnergyWise devices with NPM. The device power consumption is solely based on the power consumption of the interfaces/ports that are giving power over ethernet to their devices. We thought this was the most interesting part of the EnergyWise technology, to actually have the power going up and down on PoE devices.

If you have PoE devices and you are still not showing power consumption on your interfaces and devices, please contact support and we will look at your diagnostics.

Thanks

We thought this was the most interesting part of the EnergyWise technology, to actually have the power going up and down on PoE devices.

A reasonable thought, but given the green initiative here people are curious to know the power consumption from the network as a whole, not just from PoE switches.

I second aLTeTeGo's opinion.

So we wont see anything in Orion / EnergyWise, unless we have PoE devices connected to a EW enabled PoE switch?

Makes sense I suppose.
