Messages are listed on the left side of the screen, and details about the selected message are displayed on the right side of the screen. To move from one entry to the next, use the Up Arrow (↑) and Down Arrow (↓) keys. The system-event log indicates an assertion event when an event has occurred. It indicates a deassertion event when the event is no longer occurring. Some IMM sensors cause assertion events to be logged when their setpoints are reached. When a setpoint condition no longer exists, a corresponding deassertion event is logged. However, not all events are assertion-type events. v Integrated Management Module (IMM) event log: This log contains a filtered subset of all IMM, POST, and system management interrupt (SMI) events. You can view the IMM event log through the IMM Web interface and through the Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) program (as the ASM event log). v DSA log: This log is generated by the Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) program, and it is a chronologically ordered merge of the system-event log (as the IPMI event log), the IMM chassis-event log (as the ASM event log), and the operating-system event logs. You can view the DSA log through the DSA program. v Chassis event log: The IMM generates text messages for the IPMI assertion and deassertion events and creates entries for them in the chassis-event log. The text is generated for these events through the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) specifications DSP0244 and DSP8007. This log also contains entries for events other than IPMI sensor assertions and deassertions. For example, the chassis-event log includes entries when a user changes a network setting or when a user logs into the Web interface. This log can be viewed from the IMM Web interface. Viewing the system-event log from the Web interface Note: The system-event log has a limited capacity. When that limit is reached, the older events are deleted in a first-in, first-out order. To access and view the event log, complete the following steps: 1. Log in to the IMM. For more information, see Chapter 2, "Opening and using the IMM Web interface," on page 9. 2. In the navigation pane, click Event Log to view the recent history of events on the server. 3. Scroll down to view the complete contents of the event log. The events are given the following levels of severity: Informational This severity level is assigned to an event of which you should take note. Warning This severity level is assigned to an event that might affect server performance. Error This severity level is assigned to an event that needs immediate attention. The IMM Web interface distinguishes warning events with the letter W on a yellow background in the severity column and error events with the letter E on a red background. 4. Click Save Log as Text File to save the contents of the event log as a text file. Click Reload Log to refresh the display of the event log. Click Clear Log to delete the contents of the event log.

The system-event log indicates an assertion event when an event has occurred. It
indicates a deassertion event when the event is no longer occurring.
Some IMM sensors cause assertion events to be logged when their setpoints are
reached. When a setpoint condition no longer exists, a corresponding deassertion
event is logged. However, not all events are assertion-type events.
v
Integrated Management Module (IMM) event log:
This log contains a filtered
subset of all IMM, POST, and system management interrupt (SMI) events. You
can view the IMM event log through the IMM Web interface and through the
Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) program (as the ASM event log).
v
DSA log:
This log is generated by the Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) program,
and it is a chronologically ordered merge of the system-event log (as the IPMI
event log), the IMM chassis-event log (as the ASM event log), and the
operating-system event logs. You can view the DSA log through the DSA
program.
v
Chassis event log:
The IMM generates text messages for the IPMI assertion and
deassertion events and creates entries for them in the chassis-event log. The text
is generated for these events through the Distributed Management Task Force
(DMTF) specifications DSP0244 and DSP8007. This log also contains entries for
events other than IPMI sensor assertions and deassertions. For example, the
chassis-event log includes entries when a user changes a network setting or
when a user logs into the Web interface. This log can be viewed from the IMM
Web interface.

The system-event log has a limited capacity. When that limit is reached, the
older events are deleted in a first-in, first-out order.
To access and view the event log, complete the following steps:

Scroll down to view the complete contents of the event log. The events are
given the following levels of severity:
Informational
This severity level is assigned to an event of which you should take
note.
Warning
This severity level is assigned to an event that might affect server
performance.
Error
This severity level is assigned to an event that needs immediate
attention.
The IMM Web interface distinguishes warning events with the letter W on a
