When a platform event occurs (for example, a fan probe failure), a system
event is generated and recorded in the System Event Log (SEL). If this event
matches a platform event filter (PEF) in the Platform Event Filters list in the
Web-based interface and you have configured this filter to generate an alert
(PET or e-mail), then a PET or e-mail alert is sent to a set of one or more
configured destinations.
If the same platform event filter is also configured to perform an action
(such as rebooting the system), the action is performed.
Configuring Platform Event Filters (PEF)
Configure your platform event filters before you configure the platform event
traps or e-mail alert settings.
