Abstract

Power consumption data for a server and temperature data from a location containing the server are received. It is determined that variation in the power consumption data exceeds a first threshold level. It is determined, in response to determining variation in the power consumption data exceeds the first threshold level, variation in the temperature data does not exceed a second threshold level. It is determined, in response to determining variation in the temperature data does not exceed a second threshold level, variation in the power consumption data follows a cyclic pattern. The server is identified as idle in response to determining the variation in the power consumption data follows the cyclic pattern.
