HP Integrity iLO 2 Operations Guide

Table 25 iLO 2 Event Log Filter Options (continued)
Filter CriteriaFiltering Option
Filter by user IP Address (dotted decimal format)I: IP Address
Filter by date stamp of the records entries (MM/DD/YYYY)M: Date
If you select more than one filtering option, it acts as an additional filter. For example, if you select
the filtering option N followed by P, the logs displayed are the logs that satisfy the filtering criteria
for options N and P.
NOTE: The iLO2 Event Logs cannot be cleared.
A finite number of records are stored. The older records are replaced as the log fills up.
Table 26 lists alert (severity) levels.

SL Command for Integrity Cell-Based Servers
SL: Show Logs - View the events in the log history.
SL displays the contents of the events that have been stored in nonvolatile memory.
Events are data items that communicate system information from the source of the event to other
parts of the system, and ultimately to the system administrator. Events are produced by intelligent
hardware modules, the operating system, and system firmware. Events funnel into iLO 2 from
different sources throughout the server.
Events can be a result of a failure or an error (such as fan failure, machine-check, and so on). They
can indicate a major change in system state (firmware boot start, system power on/off) or they
might be forward progress markers, (such as CPU self test complete). Event data indicates what
the event was, where it happened, and the severity of the event. The most important events are
error logs (alert level 3 or higher), and major change of state logs, because they give information
that can provide clues about the cause of anomalous behavior. The log viewer contains an event
decoder to help you interpret events.
Table 27 lists events, actions, and functions of the logs.
