About Smart View
Equinix Smart View is a fully integrated DCIM software platform, with online tools that offer visibility into the real-time operations of your IBX.
Smart View gathers operational data from a variety of entities, such as building management systems (BMS) and power monitoring components. This gathered information (including power draw, environmental, mechanical, and electrical data) provides insight into the operating conditions relevant to your IBX colocation footprint.
You can view the information in the Smart View portal or retrieve it using the Smart View APIs.
Where available, Equinix pre-integrates Smart View at the IBX — thereby reducing your time and cost of DCIM implementation and deployment to zero.
Main Features of Smart View
- Trended AC circuit-specific power draw data
- Near-real-time, trended temperature and humidity data
- Relevant system alerts
- Configurable custom alerts
- Customizable and scheduled reports
- Organization-wide access permissions
Getting Started
Equinix Smart View provides near real-time operational data for your IBX data center footprint. You can access the data via the Smart View portal or via our streaming API.
Smart View is available only to Equinix colocation users. If you're a colocation user but you don't have access to the Smart View portal or the Equinix Customer Portal, contact your company's portal administrator.
Smart View retains data for a maximum of 12 months. You can contact us if you need to access data older than 12 months.
Log Into the Smart View Portal
You can log into Smart View directly, or access it through the Equinix Customer Portal. For details, see Log Into the Smart View Portal.
Explore the Portal
After you log into the Smart View portal, you can:
- View dashboard data for your colocation footprint.
- Subscribe to system alerts.
- Create a custom alert to receive notifications when specific conditions are met.
- Create a trouble ticket in response to a triggered system alert.
- Create a report to view data about your colocation assets.
Configure the Smart View APIs (Optional)
Smart View APIs enable you to integrate Smart View data (environmental, power draw, mechanical, and electrical) into third-party monitoring solutions.
You can access these APIs on the Equinix Developer Platform. Your Equinix Customer Success Manager (CSM) must grant access to the developer platform.
For details on the Smart View APIs, refer to the documentation in the Equinix Developer Platform:
