Purpose

This note illustrates how to setup event log entries to track informational, warning, or error messages for managed devices via the ILOM GUI V3.0/V3.1 on BDA servers.
  

Details

 Background

The ILOM event log enables you to view information about any event that occurred on the system.  Some of these events include ILOM configuration changes, software events, warnings,  alerts, component failure, as well as IPMI, PET, and SNMP events.

The Event Log tracks informational, warning, or error messages about managed devices such as the addition or removal of a component or the failure of a component.  The properties of the events recorded in the log can include: the severity of the event, the event provider (class), and the date and time the event was logged.

For more details see:

1. The section on "ILOM Event Log" in the System Monitoring and Alert Management documentation.

2. The section on "Manage System, Event, and Audit Log Entries" in the Oracle® ILOM Getting Started Guide Firmware Release 3.2.x documentation.
