Configuring the iDRAC6 Using the Web Interface 57
When a platform event occurs (for example, a battery warning assert),
a system event is generated and recorded in the System Event Log (SEL).
If this event matches a platform event filter (PEF) that is enabled and you
have configured the filter to generate an alert (PET or e-mail), then a PET or
e-mail alert is sent to one or more configured destinations.
If the same platform event filter is also configured to perform an action
(such as rebooting the system), the action is performed.
Configuring Platform Event Filters (PEF)
NOTE: Configure platform event filters before you configure the platform event
traps or e-mail alert settings.
