A Using event logs Event logs are generated by software or firmware when an event is detected. Some events that cause event records to be generated are: • Hardware-related. ◦ Example: fan or power supply failure. • Software-related. ◦ Example: indicating that software reached a certain point in the code, or that a certain amount of time has passed. The OA can timestamp and filter events, then store and transfer them to event log readers. Log entries can be read by management applications in: • Operating Systems • OAs • SEL viewers • FPL viewers • Live Event viewers • EAE Log entries can be cleared by OS management applications or by the OA itself. Events are classified into a number of severity levels, ranging from critical failure to non-error forward progress notification. The severity level is encoded in the alert level data field on an event record. Different system actions may result from generation of an event record, depending on alert level. Text search You can search the FPL and SEL event log viewers using text strings. Text search capability includes the ability to search using regular expressions. Live viewer The live event viewer provides a way for you to see records as they occur. The OA supports multiple simultaneous live event viewers that are created and destroyed dynamically when requested. The maximum number of simultaneous live event viewers is limited by the number of connections supported by the OA. Each live event viewer works independently from any other event viewer, meaning that each live event viewer can select its own filter and format options without affecting other live event viewers. The log can be filtered using the following items: • blade number • cabinet number • partition number • alert level The following format options are also available: • Keyword - This is the default format for all viewers. The keyword format supplies the following information about an event: ◦ log number ◦ reporting entity type ◦ reporting entity ID Text search 197
