# HMC Insights # HMC Insights
**HMCi** is a utility that collects metrics from one or more *IBM Power HMC* systems. The metric data is processed and saved into an InfluxDB time-series database. Grafana is used to visualize the metrics from InfluxDB. **HMCi** is a utility that collects metrics from one or more *IBM Power HMC* systems. The metric data is processed and saved into an InfluxDB time-series database. Grafana can be used to visualize the metrics from InfluxDB.
Metrics includes *Managed Systems* (the physical Power servers) and *Logical Partitions* (the virtualized servers) running AIX, Linux and IBM-i (AS/400). Metrics includes:
- *Managed Systems* - the physical Power servers
- *Logical Partitions* - the virtualized servers running AIX, Linux and IBM-i (AS/400)
- *Virtual I/O Servers* - the i/o partition(s) taking care of network and storage
- *Energy* - power consumption and temperatures
