PDF

Introduction

The Event Message Reference contains the error and event information generated by firmware and other agents that monitor system components. These events might be logged, presented to the user on one of the system management consoles, or both logged and displayed.

Each event consists of the following fields:
Message ID
The unique alphanumeric identifier for the event. This identifier can be up to eight characters long and consists of two parts:
Message ID Prefix
Up to four alphabetic characters.
Message ID Sequence
Up to four numeric digits.
Message
The message text that is displayed to the user or logged as a result of the event.

If the message has variable content in it, the variable substitution is reflected by text in italics. These substitution variables are described in the Arguments field of the event.

Arguments
Describes the values for any substitution variables appearing in the event message text.

If there is no variable content in the message, this field is omitted from the event description.

Detailed Description
Additional information describing the event.
Recommended Response Action
The recommended action to remedy the event described. The response action can vary based on the specific platform.
Category

Subcategory

Trap/EventID
The identification number used as the Trap ID for SNMP alert traps and as the Event ID when the message is logged in operating system logs.
Severity
The classification of the event based on its impact to the platform or system. The severity can be:
Severity 1 Critical
Indicates a catastrophic production problem that might severely impact production systems or components, or systems are down or not functioning.
Severity 2 Warning
Indicates a high-impact problem where a system or component is disrupted but can remain productive and perform business-level operations.
Severity 3 Information
Indicates a medium-to-low impact problem that involves a partial or noncritical loss of functionality; operations are impaired but can continue to function.
LCD Message
The event message text that is displayed on the system's LCD.
Initial Default
Event messages result in event actions such as logging, SNMP or email alerts. Generally, the event actions are configurable using the Dell iDRAC event action filtering feature. This item describes the initial default and possible event actions for the message.
