Dell EMC OpenManage Server Administrator Version 9.1 User's Guide

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 PowerEdge 11G systems, the status indicator icon next to the log name changes to critical status ( ) when the log file reaches 100 percent capacity.
  NOTE: Enabling the feature Automatic Backup and Clear ESM Log Entries allows you to create an automatic backup of ESM Logs. This feature is available only on 10th generation and 11th generation of PowerEdge servers. The iDRAC provides automatic backup and SEL log clearing capabilities starting from the 12th generation PowerEdge systems and later. Only latest version of the backup XML file is available in the mentioned locations.
• 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/openmanagemanuals.
• View the Command log for a list of each command run from either the Server Administrator home page or from its command line interface.
