Abstract
Techniques and apparatus for providing power monitoring processes are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may include at least one storage device and logic coupled to the at least one storage device. The logic may be configured to poll a power device comprising a plurality of power elements via an alarm status identifier operative to cause the power device to return an alarm status string comprising a plurality of alarm status bits, each of the plurality of alarm status bits indicating an active alarm state of one of the plurality of power elements, and determine each of the plurality of power elements in the active alarm state based on the alarm status string. Other embodiments are described.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a storage device;
- and
- logic, at least a portion of the logic implemented in circuitry coupled to the storage device, the logic to:
- receive an alarm status string comprising a plurality of alarm status bits from a power device comprising a plurality of power elements, each of the plurality of alarm status bits indicating an active alarm state of one of the plurality of power elements, and
- determine each of the plurality of power elements in the active alarm state based on the alarm status string via setting an alarm status associated with one of the plurality of power elements to the active alarm status responsive to a corresponding one of the plurality of alarm status bits having an alarm value.
A computer-implemented method, comprising, via a processor of a computing device:
- receiving an alarm status string comprising a plurality of alarm status bits from a power device comprising a plurality of power elements, each of the plurality of alarm status bits indicating an active alarm state of one of the plurality of power elements;
- and
- determining each of the plurality of power elements in the active alarm state based on the alarm status string via setting an alarm status associated with one of the plurality of power elements to the active alarm status responsive to a corresponding one of the plurality of alarm status bits having an alarm value.
At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a set of instructions that, in response to being executed via a processing unit of a computing device, cause the computing device to:
- receive an alarm status string comprising a plurality of alarm status bits from a power device comprising a plurality of power elements, each of the plurality of alarm status bits indicating an active alarm state of one of the plurality of power elements;
- and
- determine each of the plurality of power elements in the active alarm state based on the alarm status string via setting an alarm status associated with one of the plurality of power elements to the active alarm status responsive to a corresponding one of the plurality of alarm status bits having an alarm value.
