11.3 System Event Log Cleared
The BMC logs a SEL clear event. This is only ever the first event in the SEL. Cause of this event is either a manual SEL clear using Intel
®
SEL
Viewer or some other IPMI-aware utility, or is done in the factory as one of the last steps in the manufacturing process.
This is an informational event only.

11.4 System Event – PEF Action
The BMC is configurable to send alerts for events logged into the SEL. These alerts are called Platform Event Filters (PEF) and are disabled by
default. The user must configure and enable this feature. PEF events are logged if the BMC takes action due to a PEF configuration. The BMC
event triggering the PEF action will also be in the SEL.
