Dell EMC iDRAC Service Module 3.1 User’s Guide

Replicates the Lifecycle Controller (LC) logs to the OS logs. All events that have the OS Log option as the target (in the Alerts page or in the equivalent RACADM or WSMAN interfaces) are replicated in the OS log using the iDRAC Service Module. This process is similar to the System Event Log (SEL) replication performed by OpenManage Server Administrator.

The default set of logs to be included in the OS logs are the same as the logs configured for SNMP traps/alerts. Only the events logged in the LC log after the iDRAC Service Module was installed are replicated to the OS Log. If OpenManage Server Administrator is installed, the monitoring feature is disabled to avoid duplicate SEL entries in the OS log.

In iDRAC Service Module, you can customize the location to replicate the LC logs. By default, the LC logs are replicated in the System group of the Windows logs folder in the Windows Event Viewer. You can replicate the LC logs to an existing group or create a new folder in the Application and Services Logs folder in the Windows Event Viewer.
