Power Consumption (VMware) service
The Power Consumption (VMware) service monitors the overall power consumption of ESXi servers. If the ESXi host does not provide any power consumption data, this service will not display the Power Usage metric.
N-able N-central uses the CIM services and ports for monitoring.
If your ESX/ESXi server is operating on either Dell or HP hardware, it is strongly recommended that you install the Dell or HP Offline Bundle before the Windows probe discovers the ESX/ESXi server.
