iDRAC provides the capability to configure different event alerts and actions to be performed when a Lifecycle
Logs event occurs. When an event is generated, it is forwarded to the configured destinations by using the
selected alert type mechanisms. Users can enable or disable alerts through the iDRAC web interface,
RACADM, or with iDRAC settings utility.
