iLO Event Log
The event log provides a record of significant events recorded by iLO.
Logged events include major server events such as a server power outage or a server reset,
and iLO events such as unauthorized login attempts. Other logged events include successful or
unsuccessful browser and Remote Console logins, virtual power and power-cycle events, clearing
the log, and some configuration changes, such as creating or deleting a user and registering for
remote support.
iLO provides secure password encryption, tracking all login attempts and maintaining a record
of all login failures. The Authentication Failure Logging setting allows you to configure logging
criteria for failed authentications. The event log captures the client name for each logged entry
to improve auditing capabilities in DHCP environments, and records the account name, computer
name, and IP address. For information about configuring Authentication Failure Logging, see
“iLO access settings” (page 61).
For a list of the errors that might appear in the event log, see the error messages guide for your
server.
