Dell Lifecycle Controller GUI v2.70.70.70 User's Guide

Viewing Lifecycle Log history

Use the Lifecycle Log feature to view:
  • System event logs
  • History of firmware updates
    NOTE: The details of the configuration changes are not displayed.
  • User work notes

You can use the filtering and sorting options to view the Lifecycle Log.

NOTE: As the system events are generated by various systems management tools, you may not view the events in log immediately after they were logged.

To view the Lifecycle Log history and use the filtering options:

  1. Start Lifecycle Controller. For more information, see Starting Lifecycle Controller.
  2. In the left pane, click Lifecycle Log.
  3. In the right pane, click View Lifecycle Log History.
    The following details are displayed:
    • No. — The serial number of the event.
    • Category — The category to which the events belong. The available categories are:
      • All — Events related to all categories are listed.
      • System Health — Events related to the installed hardware such as fan, PSUs, NIC/LOM/CNA link, BIOS errors, and so on.
      • Storage — Events related to the external or internal storage components such as storage controller, enclosure, HDDs, and software RAID.
      • Configuration — Events related to the hardware and software changes such as addition or removal of hardware in the system, configuration changes made using Lifecycle Controller or system management tools.
      • Audit — Events related to a user login, intrusion, licenses, and so on.
      • Updates — Events related to updates or rollback of firmware and drivers.
      • Work Notes — Events logged by you.
        NOTE: These options are available in the Filter by Category drop-down menu. Select the category to filter the data depending on the category option selected.
    • Severity
      • Critical — Indicates the events that are business-critical.
      • Informational — Indicates the events that are generated only for information purpose.
    • Message ID — Each event is represented with a unique Message ID. For example, SWC0001.
    • Description — A brief description about the event. For example, Dell OS Drivers Pack, v.6.4.0.14, X14 was detected.
      NOTE: If you initiate configuration jobs using RACADM CLI or iDRAC web interface, the Lifecycle log description displays the information about the user, interface used, and the IP address of the system from which you initiate the job.
    • Date and Time — Indicates the date and time when an event occurred.
