HP iLO 3 User Guide

When less important events are repeated, they are consolidated into one event log entry, and
the Count and Last Update values are updated. Each event type has a specific time interval
that determines whether repeated events are consolidated or a new event is logged.
• Description—The description identifies the component and detailed characteristics of the
recorded event.
If the iLO firmware is rolled back to an earlier version, the description UNKNOWN EVENT

issue by updating the firmware to the latest supported version, or by clearing the event log.
