Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Version 7.3 User's Guide

Logs

Subtabs: Hardware | Alert | Command

Under the Logs tab, you can:

View the Embedded System Management (ESM) log or the System Event Log (SEL) for a list of all events related to your system's hardware components. The status indicator icon next to the log name changes from normal status ( ) to noncritical status ( ) when the log file reaches 80 percent capacity. On Dell PowerEdge 9G and 11G systems, the status indicator icon next to the log name changes to critical status ( ) when the log file reaches 100 percent capacity.
- NOTE: It is recommended that you clear the hardware log when it reaches 80 percent capacity. If the log is allowed to reach 100 percent capacity, the latest events are discarded from the log.
View the Alert log for a list of all events generated by the Server Administrator Instrumentation Service in response to changes in the status of sensors and other monitored parameters.
- NOTE: For more information about each alert event ID and its corresponding description, severity level, and cause, see the Server Administrator Messages Reference Guide at dell.com/support/manuals.
View the Command log for a list of each command executed from either the Server Administrator home page or from its command line interface.
- NOTE: For instructions to view, print, save, and e-mail logs, see "Server Administrator Logs".
