5. System Event Log
Figure 5-1
Clicking on the Event Log tab of the IPMI View management session in the Viewing Window (shown
in Figure 5-1) gives you detailed information on the System Event Log for the BMC. It shows the
System Event Log version, number of log entries, free space for the System Event Log and the times of
recently added and recently erased System Event Logs.
• Get System Event Log
In the Get Entries group on the upper left side of the Event Log tab in the Viewing Window, you can
decide how many logs you want to get from the BMC. Click the From button and type in the first and
last numbers of the logs you wish to view, or click the All button to get all the logs from the BMC. The
logs retrieved from the BMC will listed as a table in the central part of the Viewing Window. Please
refer to the IPMI specifications version 2.0 for detailed descriptions of each field. Some helpful fields:
Timestamp: the time the event happened.
Sensor Type: this could be health sensors or a system event.
Event Type: the event description.
Because the BMC communicates with the NIC on the mainboard via a slow channel, it is recommended
that you request only the events you need to see. Choosing "all" to get hundreds of event entries will
result in a very long delay.
