Configuring iDRAC6 Enterprise Using the Web Interface 87
Configuring Platform Events
Platform event configuration provides a mechanism for configuring iDRAC6
to perform selected actions on certain event messages. The actions include no
action, reboot system, power cycle system, power off system, and generate an
alert (Platform Event Trap [PET] and/or e-mail).
The filterable platform events are listed in Table 5-7.
.
When a platform event occurs (for example, a battery warning assert),
a system event is generated and recorded in the System Event Log (SEL).
If this event matches a platform event filter (PEF) that is enabled and you
have configured the filter to generate an alert (PET or e-mail), then a PET or
e-mail alert is sent to 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.
