Select Monitors → Event Log to view entries that are currently stored in the management-module event log.
This log includes entries for events that are detected by the BladeCenter unit and installed components. The log displays the most recent entries first. Information about all remote access attempts is recorded in the event log, and the management module sends out the applicable alerts if it is configured to do so.
- Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) (POSTBIOS)
- BladeCenter unit (SERVPROC)
- Blade device by bay number (Blade_xx)
- xx in an event source refers to the bay number of the reporting device.
- BladeCenter T units generate alarms with severities of critical, major, and minor. For the purposes of the management module event log, critical and major alarms are written to the log as errors, and minor alarms are written as warnings. Alerts are assigned severity ratings of Error, Warning, and Information.
The event log is of fixed capacity. On the BladeCenter unit, when the log is 75% full, the BladeCenter® Information LEDs are lit. On the BladeCenter T unit, when the log is 75% full, the BladeCenter T MNR (minor alarm) LED is lit. On the BladeCenter unit, when the log is full, new entries overwrite the oldest entries, and the BladeCenter Error LEDs are lit. On the BladeCenter T unit, when the log is full, new entries overwrite the oldest entries, and the BladeCenter T MJR (major alarm) LED is lit. If you do not want the management module to monitor the state of the event log, clear the Monitor log state events check box at the top of the event log page.
You can sort and filter entries in the event log. See the event log help for more information.
