The following events and activities are logged:
  • System events
  • Storage devices
  • Network devices
  • Configuration
  • Audit
  • Updates
When you log in to or log out of iDRAC using any of the following interfaces, the log-in, log-out, or login failure events are recorded in the Lifecycle logs:
  • Telnet
  • SSH
  • Web interface
  • RACADM
  • SM-CLP
  • IPMI over LAN
  • Serial
  • Virtual console
  • Virtual media

You can view and filter logs based on the category and severity level. You can also export and add a work note to a log event.

NOTE: Lifecycle logs for Personality Mode change is generated only during the warm boot of the host.

If you initiate configuration jobs using RACADM CLI or iDRAC web interface, the Lifecycle log contains information about the user, interface used, and the IP address of the system from which you initiate the job.
