IPMI Event Log
Server Monitor* can monitor managed physical events occurring on IPMI-enabled servers. These
events are recorded in the IPMI event log, which is accessible through Central Manager*. Each event is
numbered and dated. This information, as well as a description of the event type, sensor type
affected, and event alert type, are recorded in the IPMI event log.
In addition, the IPMI event log lists the version of the log, the number of entries in the log, the last
time an entry was added, the last time the log was cleared, and the amount of free space remaining
for the log. The log can be reviewed/filtered by listing all events, or by filtering by an event range. The
results can be displayed on the screen or exported to a file in a .CSV format without clearing the log.
The IPMI event log allows administrators to retrieve and view all events that occur and are reported
by a specific server. To access the IPMI event log, the system must be IPMI-enabled and running a
valid version of Server Monitor*. Fields included in this screen are:
• IPMI version
• Number of entries in the log
• Last time an entry was made in the log
• Time of last log clear
• Free space
