Using the SEL
The System Event Log (SEL) page displays system-critical events that occur on the managed system. The SEL is generated by the Baseboard Management
Controller (BMC) on the managed system and by the DRAC 4 if you have configured it to monitor any managed system events. This page displays the date,
time, and a description of each event generated by the BMC and other instrumentation on the managed system. You can configure the DRAC 4 to send email
or SNMP alerts when specified events occur.
The SEL displays the event severity information in Table4-23.
The DRAC 4 Log provides the following information.
Table 4-23. Status Indicator Icons
The SEL provides buttons (see Table4-24) in the top-right corner of the screen.

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.
Table 4-25. Status Indicator Icons
l Date and Time — The date and time (for example, Sat Dec 19 16:55:47 2004). When the DRAC 4 is unable to communicate with the managed system,
the letters DSU (DRAC 4 start up) appear before the time, followed by the time elapsed since the DRAC 4 was started.
l User — The name of the user logging into the DRAC 4.
l ID — The event identification number of the message displayed.
l Description — A brief description of the event.
