System Logs
Server system logs record the status of hardware events, including memory issues. For servers running
Microsoft Windows operating systems, either of the following logs can be a valuable resource:
• Integrated Management Log (IML)
• Event Viewer
For servers running Linux operating systems, refer to either of the following:
• Integrated Management Log (IML)
• varlog/messages file
Microsoft Windows Operating Systems: Using the IML
The IML Viewer is a software tool created by HP and is available as a downloadable component pack from
HP.COM. It can also be accessed via the HP System Management Homepage (SMH). Navigate to this tool
through SMH by clicking on the Logs tab or through the operating system from HP System Tools. Figure 3
below shows the IMH accessed via SMH. System memory issues, if present, will be recorded and will be
visible in the IML.
