Function	Description
Licenses	After purchasing a premium license for devices, XClarity One creates a license group to determine which devices can use that premium license (see Licenses).
Devices	You can remotely view and interact with the server console for a specific managed device (see Remote sever access). You can disable the firmware-updates and remote server console access functions globally in all management hubs in your organization from the XClarity One web interface (see Management functions). The device inventory includes information about SSD remaining life (see Device details). Device usage and trend data is available for system power consumption (see Usage metrics and trends).
Alerts and events	You can create custom alert rules to raise alerts for multiple events, based on occurrence or frequency (see Custom alerts). XClarity One can monitor multiple events and, based on thresholds that you set using custom alerts, can raise alerts and todos with actions for you to take to mitigate potential problems.

The following software enhancements are supported in this release.

Function	Description
General	You can filter tables based using specific criteria by clicking the Advanced search icon () in the search bar. You can create a report based on information on the current page and save the report to your local system (see Exploring the portal).
Licenses	XClarity One is a for-fee cloud application that requires licenses for each device that you manage in your organizations (see Licenses).
Authentication and authorization	You can set up your organization to use your corporate federation identify provider instead of the local identify-management system for user authentication (see External identity provider).
Organizations	Your first organization request is automatically approved after purchasing licenses (see Organizations).
Devices	You can disable the power-action function globally in all management hubs in your organization from the XClarity One web interface (see Management functions). You can remotely access the management-controller web interface for your managed devices without having a VPN connection to your datacenter or edge where your devices are located by using the portal connection (see Remote sever access). You can view usage metrics and trends for processor temperature and processor power consumption (see Usage metrics and trends). XClarity One checks the remaining life of your drives every hour and displays the remaining life data on the inventory page.
Events and alerts	You can create alert rules for raising custom alerts that you are interested in based the frequency of events or based on metric thresholds. (see Custom alerts).
Firmware updates	You can choose to manually restart devices that require a restart to complete firmware updates instead of restarting immediately (see Firmware updates). You can install firmware on components even if the current firmware version is up to date using the Force update option (see Firmware updates). XClarity One automatically installs prerequisite firmware, when available (see Firmware updates).
Service and support	You can contact XClarity One support using the Contact Us webpage instead of email (see Technical assistance).

The following software enhancements are supported in this release.

Function	Description
Users	Other than the first organization owners, subsequent owner no longer have the user-administrator role by default (see Users).
Analytics	XClarity One collects memory-diagnostic logs that are generated by the XCC for DDR4 SDRAM memory modules in managed ThinkSystem devices and uses this data to improve the future AI models that are used to predict probable memory failures (see Data security).

The following software enhancements are supported in this release.

Function	Description
Devices	XClarity One makes it easy to maintain the firmware on your managed servers using templates, which consist of a set of rules and criteria that define the desired configuration for a certain type of server and identifies which managed servers are monitored for compliance (see Device templates).
Alerts and events	You can set warning and critical usage thresholds and the alert duration for the certain components. A todo is raised when a threshold is exceeded. (See Usage metrics and trends).
