Installation Manual

• Count—The number of times this event has occurred (if supported).
In general, important events generate an event log entry each time they occur. They are not
consolidated into one event log entry.
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
TYPE might be displayed for events recorded by the newer firmware. You can resolve this
issue by updating the firmware to the latest supported version, or by clearing the event log.
