Viewing the Event Logs

The Hardware Log and CMC Log pages display system-critical events that

occur on the managed system.

Viewing the Hardware Log

The CMC generates a hardware log of events that occur on the chassis. You

can view the hardware log using the Web interface and remote RACADM.

NOTE: To clear the hardware log, you must have Clear Logs Administrator

privilege.

NOTE: You can configure the CMC to send e-mail or SNMP traps when specific

events occur. For information on configuring CMC to send alerts, see "Configuring

SNMP Alerts" on page 298 and "Configuring E-mail Alerts" on page 303.
