Server Administrator Logs
Overview
Server Administrator allows you to view and manage hardware, alert,
and command logs. All users can access logs and print reports from either the
Server Administrator home page or from its command line interface.
Users must be logged in with Administrator privileges to clear logs or must be
logged in with Administrator or Power User privileges to e-mail logs to their
designated service contact.
See the Dell™ OpenManage™ Server Administrator Command Line Interface
User's Guide for information about viewing logs and creating reports from the
command line.
When viewing Server Administrator logs, you can click Help on the global
navigation bar for more detailed information about the specific window you
are viewing. Server Administrator log help is available for all windows
accessible to the user based on user privilege level and the specific hardware
and software groups that Server Administrator discovers on the
managed system.
