4.4.9 PEF
Platform Event Filtering (PEF)
provides a mechanism for conguring the BMC to take
selected actions on event messages that it receives or has internally generated. These
actions include operations such as system power-off, system reset, as well as triggering the
generation of an alert. A PEF implementation is recommended to provide at least 16 entries
in the event lter table. A subset of these entries should be pre-congured for common
system failure events, such as over-temperature, power system failure, fan failure events, etc.
To open PEF Management Settings page, click
Configurations > PEF
from the main menu.
