Switch between the available tabs (Sensor Settings, Alert Actions, Sensor Information or Inventory Information) to view or update the information. 4. Click Apply for any changes made to the sensor configuration. At any time you can change views to another sensor by selecting another component in the navigation pane. If you try to change your view and you have not saved any configuration changes using the Apply button in the presentation pane, PIC prompts you to save or discard the changes before switching to a new view. Viewing System Information To view system information (such as FRU, Operating System, BIOS, and SEL) on the managed server or a managed ICMB device, do the following: 1. On the PIC main window, click beside the System Information name in the PIC navigation pane to see the list of options. 2. Select an entry from the list. 3. View the information in the corresponding tab in the presentation pane. At any time you can change views to another sensor by selecting another component in the navigation pane. If a component supports FRU data, this information is also displayed on the Inventory Information tab for that component. Configure Server Health for Static IP Address To ensure the ISM Console health display is accurate when a server has a Static IP address, perform the following steps: 1. Edit the hosts file in the /etc folder. Add the IP address to the server, together with the server name. 2. Save the edits. 3. Restart network services on the server or reboot the server. System Event Log PIC displays the System Event Log (SEL) maintained by the managed server's platform hardware. The SEL is a collection of log entries stored in nonvolatile flash memory. The server software (Platform Instrumentation) automatically extracts event information from the SEL and triggers any user-configured actions associated with that event. Platform Instrumentation clears the SEL when it is near an out-of-space condition. PIC displays the SEL logging status (whether the SEL is Active or Inactive). The display of SEL records includes timestamp information. Platform Instrumentation sets the timestamp of SEL records written prior to a system boot record using the timestamp from the boot record. Clearing the SEL The first time that PI runs on a server after installation, all records of the SEL are read and processed. The PI starts with the first record of the SEL and returns a DMI for each record of the SEL. If SNMP services are enabled, PI will also generate a SNMP trap for each DMI indication. In addition, all default actions associated with each indication will occur. After the SEL has been processed once, only new entries to the SEL will generate DMI indications and SNMP traps.

System Event Log
PIC displays the System Event Log (SEL) maintained by the managed server’s platform hardware. The SEL
is a collection of log entries stored in nonvolatile flash memory.
The server software (Platform Instrumentation) automatically extracts event information from the SEL and
triggers any user-configured actions associated with that event. Platform Instrumentation clears the SEL
when it is near an out-of-space condition. PIC displays the SEL logging status (whether the SEL is Active or
Inactive).
The display of SEL records includes timestamp information. Platform Instrumentation sets the timestamp of
SEL records written prior to a system boot record using the timestamp from the boot record.
Clearing the SEL
The first time that PI runs on a server after installation, all records of the SEL are read and processed. The
PI starts with the first record of the SEL and returns a DMI for each record of the SEL. If SNMP services
are enabled, PI will also generate a SNMP trap for each DMI indication.
In addition, all default actions
associated with each indication will occur.
After the SEL has been processed once, only new entries to the
SEL will generate DMI indications and SNMP traps.
