Not sure I'd need that level. It would be a nice touch to track the
downstream totals, but I'd be happy with just the immediate
connections which will have an acceptable rating. We generally have
2 or 3 PDUs per rack (with occasional cables going to an adjacent
unit...) and I'd like a quick way to see that the total connected
consumption won't exceed the rating even when counting the use for
dual-power connections on both sides. Would be even better if the PDU
rating values could be included as an attribute with color-coded
warnings as you approach them.
