Prerequisites
Minimum Version: Requires SysTrack 9.0 or later.
Notes
After this DEX Pack is installed, it may take up to 24 hours for data to appear.
If you update or reinstall this DEX Pack, you must reassign any Views created below to the SF_GreenIT Role.
Installation Steps
To install this DEX Pack, complete the following steps:
Import the Kit
There are two ways to import the DEX Pack to SysTrack:
Import the pack directly from the Kits page in SysTrack. See the Import Online Kits guide for more information.
Import a local file downloaded from the DEX and Kit Downloads page. Click the Download Kit link for the pack and follow the Import Local Kits guide to finish the import.
Create the VM Energy Consumption View
NOTE: This step is only required for versions prior to 11.2.
The Virtual Machine Energy Consumption Dashboard requires you to make a View for the SF_GreenIT Role. This View tracks the amount of time a system is powered on or actively being used, as well as the CPU and GPU utilization. This View only returns data from virtual machines (VMs).
To create the new View:
Navigate to Configure > Views.
Click the padlock icon in the upper-right to enable editing.
Click the plus icon to add a new View.
Fill in the Settings as follows:
View Name: SF_GreenITVMCGPU
Existing Category: Virtualization
Description: A view to return CPU and GPU daily usage
Expires in: 30 Days
When Expired: Append Data
Do NOT check When overdue by 1 day(s).
Set the Refresh drop-downs to Weekly, Inside, 24x7, and Every 1 week(s).
Copy the SF_GreenITVMCGPU SQL Query, and paste it into the box under SQL Selection > Generic.
Click Test SQL. A Success message should appear at the top of the screen. If the test is not successful, the query may have been copied incorrectly.
Click Create View at the top-right.

wguidAssign the VM Energy Consumption View to the GreenIT Role
To assign the new View:
Navigate to Configure > Roles.
Use the drop-down at the top to select the SF_GreenIT Role.
Click Views, then check the box next to SF_GreenITVMCGPU.
Click Save Changes at the top-right.
After completing this process, it may take up to 8 days for the corresponding data to appear in the Virtual Machine Energy Consumption Dashboard.
Assign the GreenIT Role to Relevant Configurations
This DEX Pack requires you to assign the SF_GreenIT Role to the relevant Configurations:
Navigate to Configure > Configurations.
Click the padlock icon in the upper-right to enable editing.
Use the drop-down at the top to select a relevant Configuration, or create a new Configuration.
Assign the SF_GreenIT Role to the Configuration by dragging it from Available Roles to Assigned Roles.
Click Save Changes at the top-right.
Repeat this process for any other relevant Configurations.
After completing this process, it may take up to two days for the corresponding data to appear.
Specifically, this Role is most relevant to the data in the Printing Dashboard.
Enable Location Data
If location data is not enabled for monitored systems, this DEX Pack will have reduced functionality and accuracy. Location data is enabled by default.
In the cloud version, location data can only be disabled by importing a Role from the On-Premises version. Thus, if your enterprise does not use the On-Premises version, then location data is most likely enabled. If your enterprise uses the On-Premises version, follow the steps below to verify if location data is enabled.
To verify if location data is enabled in Deploy (On-Premises Version):
Navigate to Deploy > Edit the config.
Check the box next to Enable Advanced Settings.
Navigate to Policies and Settings > Inventory Management.
Set Egress Get IP Address to True.
To verify if location data is enabled in Configure (On-Prem Version):
Navigate to Configure > Roles or Configurations.
Click the padlock icon in the upper-right to enable editing.
Use the drop-down at the top to select a relevant Role or Configuration.
Navigate to Policies > Inventory Management.
Check the box next to Egress Get IP Address.
Click Save Changes at the top-right.
Repeat this process for any other relevant Roles or Configurations.
Enable Printing Event Log
The Printing Dashboard requires the Windows PrintService event log (Microsoft-WindowsPrintService/Operational) to be enabled for monitored systems. This log is disabled by default. You can use tools such as PowerShell or Group Policy to enable this log for multiple systems.
