racadm export EventFilters
I'm trying to export EventFilters from the DRAC so that I can import them into multiple machines.
The racadm admin commands to backup the idrac config do not include these filters for backup.
These filters would be the alert settings found via the drac web interface at Overview>Server>Alerts
racadm EventFilters get -c idrac.alert.all
the above command will display all the info but it certainly isn't in a format that would be importable given the racadm commands to set the variables are different
No Events found!

BillBalgo,
You can run below command from Local or Remote Racadm to export ecvent filter setting
racadm get -f
To Import to other iDRAC, you can use following command
racadm set -f

Dell-Shine,
I'm not sure you read his post closely. In the beginning he says the racadm command to back up (export) the idrac configuration doesn't contain the eventfilters in the output.
He is actually saying the command you just told him to run doesn't work for exporting the event filters. I can confirm this is the case. I just exported and checked with "racadm get -f " and they are not there.
So how do we backup and restore event filters on iDRAC's?
- Export the xml configuration to a CIFS share:
racadm get -f file -t xml -u myuser -p mypass -l //10.1.12.13/share
- Export the xml configuration to an NFS share:
racadm get -f file -t xml -l 10.1.12.13:/myshare
- Save RAC configuration to a file:
racadm get -f config.txt

Use the --clone option on "racadm get" then edit the xml file to only leave the "EventFilters.SystemHealth.1" section.
Example:
racadm get -f idrac_settings.xml -t xml --clone
The XML will look like this:
Enabled
Enabled
Disabled
Disabled
Disabled
.........

Nadogmoney,
Perfect! Thank you. I just did this today and it worked perfectly. This was an important step for an audit I'm doing so this just saved a ton of time.

How is the command you are used for import?

You can import the setting to iDRAC using below command
- Configure a iDRAC from an XML configuration file located locally.
racadm set -f idrac_settings.xml -t xml
- Configure a iDRAC from an XML configuration file located on a remote CIFS share.
racadm set -f idrac_settings.xml -t xml -u myuser -p mypass -l //10.1.2.3/myshare
- Configure a iDRAC from an XML configuration file located on a remote NFS share.
racadm set -f idrac_settings.xml -t xml -l 10.1.2.3:/myshare
