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 5.3 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.
