Power utilization metrics
Power capacity is the calibrated maximum power that a device can consume. The power utilization metrics refresh every five minutes while the panel is open.
You can see the power utilization data for a component under Power on the Utilization panel.
Use this data to determine how much power your facility is consuming and the resources that are consuming it. The appliance reports alerts for devices that exceed their power capacity. Alerts are not shown for interconnects.
