interface (CLI) when the DSM SA Connection Service is shut down.

be running.
Logs
Subtabs: Hardware | Alert | Command
Under the Logs tab, you can:
• View the Embedded System Management (ESM) log or the System Event
Log (SEL) for a list of all events related to your system's hardware
components. The status indicator icon next to the log name changes from
normal status ( ) to noncritical status( ) when the log file reaches
80 percent capacity. On Dell PowerEdge
x8xx , x9xx and xx1x systems, the
status indicator icon next to the log name changes to critical status ( )
when the log file reaches 100 percent capacity.
NOTE: It is recommended that you clear the hardware log when it reaches
80 percent capacity. If the log is allowed to reach 100 percent capacity,
the latest events are discarded from the log.
• View the Alert log for a list of all events generated by the Server
Administrator Instrumentation Service in response to changes in the
status of sensors and other monitored parameters.
NOTE: See the Server Administrator Messages Reference Guide for a
complete explanation of each alert event ID's corresponding description,
severity level, and cause.

the
Server Administrator home page or from its command line interface.

printing, saving, and e-mailing logs.
