This chapter provides information about the KVM Target metrics.

For each metric, it provides the following information:

  • Description

  • Metric table

    The metric table can include some or all of the following: target version, default collection frequency, default warning threshold, default critical threshold, and alert text.

KVM Target metrics are used to monitor keyboard, video or visual display unit, and mouse (KVM) targets The Avocent MergePoint Unity Switch plug-in enables Enterprise Manager Cloud Control to monitor KVM targets. The plug-in provides the status of the KVM and event occurrences, such as Factory Defaults Set, Fan Failure, Aggregated Target Device Status, Power Supply Failure, Power Supply Restored, Reboot Started, and Temperature Out of Range on the KVM target.
