Introduction
Dell OpenManage™ Server Administrator produces event messages stored primarily in the operating
system or Server Administrator event logs and sometimes in SNMP traps. This document describes
the event messages created by Server Administrator version 2.0 or later and displayed in the Server
Administrator Alert log.
Server Administrator creates events in response to sensor status changes and other monitored
parameters. The Server Administrator event monitor uses these status change events to add
descriptive messages to the operating system event log or the Server Administrator Alert log.
Each event message that Server Administrator adds to the alert log consists of a unique identifier
called the event ID for a specific event source category and a descriptive message. The event
message includes the severity, cause of the event, and other relevant information, such as the event
location and the monitored item’s previous state.
Tables provided in this guide list all Server Administrator event IDs in numeric order. Each entry
includes the event ID’s corresponding description, severity level, and cause. Message text in angle
brackets (for example,
<State> ) describes the event-specific information provided by the
Server
Administrator.
