Setting Platform Event Filter Alerts
To configure the most relevant BMC features, such as Platform Event Filter (PEF) parameters and alert
destinations using Server Administrator Instrumentation Service:
1. Click the System object.
2. Click the Alert Management tab.
3. Click Platform Events.
The Platform Events window allows you to take individual action on specific platform events. You
can select those events for which you want to take shutdown actions and generate alerts for
selected actions. You can also send alerts to specific IP address destinations of your choice.
NOTE: You must be logged in with Administrator privileges to configure the BMC PEF Alerts.
NOTE: The Enable Platform Event Filters Alerts setting disables or enables PEF alert generation.
It is independent of the individual platform event alert settings.
NOTE: System Power Probe Warning and System Power Probe Failure are not supported on
Dell PowerEdge systems without PMBus support although Server Administrator allows you to
configure them.
NOTE: On Dell PowerEdge 1900 systems, the PS/VRM/D2D Warning, PS/VRM/D2D Failure, and
Power Supply Absent Platform Event Filters are not supported even though Server Administrator
allows you to configure these Event Filters.
4. Choose the platform event for which you want to take shutdown actions or generate alerts for
selected actions and click Set Platform Events.
The Set Platform Events window allows you to specify the actions to be taken if the system is to be
shut down in response to a platform event.
