A data center infrastructure monitoring system and method that includes a plurality of geographically distributed data centers, each data center comprising a plurality of mechanical assets. A data center gateway system communicatively coupled to one or more data centers of the plurality of data centers is configured to determine a subset of the plurality of mechanical assets of the data center that provide cooling to equipment of a customer of the data center, and output, for display, a graphical depiction of the subset of the plurality of mechanical assets of the data center that provide cooling to equipment of the customer in the data center.

Determining asset associations for data center customers

A data center infrastructure monitoring system and method that includes a plurality of geographically distributed data centers, each data center comprising a plurality of physical infrastructure assets. A data center gateway system communicatively coupled to one or more data centers of the plurality of data centers is configured to receive a request from a customer of a data center of the plurality of data centers to display a real-time power path that shows a current flow of power through a plurality of assets of the data center, determine a subset of the plurality of assets of the data center that provide power to equipment of the customer of the data center, and output, for display, a graphical depiction of the real-time power path between the subset of the plurality of assets of the data center that provide power to equipment of the customer in the data center.

Determining power path for data center customers

A data center infrastructure monitoring system and method that includes a plurality of geographically distributed data centers, each having a plurality of physical infrastructure assets. A data center gateway system is communicatively coupled to one or more data centers of plurality of data centers and configured to receive data for configuring an alert specifying one or more data center assets to monitor for a primary alert event, an event type for the primary alert event, and a conditional trigger event upon which providing an alert notification for the primary alert event will be conditioned, store the data for configuring the alert, monitor, based on the stored data, the one or more infrastructure assets for the conditional trigger event and the primary alert event, and in response to detecting both the conditional trigger event and the primary alert event associated with the configured alert, providing the alert notification.

Defining conditional triggers for issuing data center asset information

In one example, a method includes receiving, by a computing system, first data defining an alarm associated with an infrastructure asset, the alarm having an alarm condition that causes a notification to be output indicating the alarm condition is met, and receiving, by the computing system, second data defining a one-time trigger condition for the alarm. The method also includes, in response to determining that the alarm condition is met and the one-time trigger condition for the alarm has not been met at least once, suppressing, by the computing system, output of notifications for the alarm, and in response to determining that the alarm condition is met and the one-time trigger condition for the alarm has been met at least once, outputting, by the computing device and for display, the notification indicating the alarm condition is met.

Limiting alarms in an asset monitoring system

A data center infrastructure monitoring system and method that includes a plurality of geographically distributed data centers, each data center of the plurality of data centers having a plurality of physical infrastructure assets. A central monitoring center is communicatively coupled to one or more data centers of the plurality of data centers and configured to, in response to receiving, by a computing device, indications of a plurality of user inputs creating one or more graphical relationships between a plurality of icons depicting infrastructure assets in a data center, determine, by the computing device and based on the graphical relationships, hierarchical relationships between the infrastructure assets in the data center depicted by the icons, and store data indicative of the hierarchical relationships between the infrastructure assets.
