90 Managing and Recovering a Remote System
Using the DRAC 4 Log
The DRAC 4 Log is a persistent log maintained in the DRAC 4 firmware. The
log contains a list of user actions (such as log in and log out) and alerts issued by
the DRAC 4. The oldest entries are overwritten when the log becomes full. If the
DRAC 4 loses communication with the managed system, all entries that the
DRAC 4 would have added to the System Event Log (SEL), such as a power
failure, are added to the DRAC 4 Log until communication is re-established.
The DRAC 4 Log provides the information in Table 4-25.
