Default Subcommand
If a subcommand is not specified, this command acts the same as sel status.
Display Format
System event log records are displayed using either a tabular format (legacy) or a vertical format
(oemlist) consistent with the SEL log output found in other Dell OpenManage products. The default is
the oemlist format. The column headers for the legacy format are: Ordinal Number, Date, Time, Sensor
Number, Sensor Type, and Brief Description. See Figure 3-10 for an example of oemlist and legacy
formatted SEL display.
