Event logs for service processors
The diagnostic programs create a merged log that includes events from all
collected logs. The information is collected into a file that you can send to
Lenovo service and support. Additionally, you can view the information locally
through a generated text report file. You can also copy the log to a removable
media and view the log from a Web browser.
For additional information about preboot diagnostics, see “Running the diagnostic
programs” on page 90.
