Event log

The Event log includes information about the severity of the events that are reported by the IMM2, and information about all remote access attempts and configuration changes.

Select Event Log under the Events tab to display the Event Log page. The Event Log page shows the severity for the events that are reported by the IMM2, and information about all remote access attempts and configuration changes. All events in the log are time stamped, using the IMM2 date and time settings. A sequence number can be displayed to assist in determining the order of events when more than one event has the same time stamp.

Note

Some sequence numbers are used by internal BMC processes, so it is normal that there may be gaps in the sequence numbers when the events are sorted by sequence number.

Some events also generate alerts, if they are configured to do so on the Event Recipients page. You can sort and filter events in the event log. The following is an illustration of the Event log page.

To sort and filter events in the event log, select the column heading. You can save all or save selected events in the event log to a file using the Export button.
