34 Using Dell OpenManage Server Administrator
Server Administrator Logs
Server Administrator allows you to view and manage hardware, alert,
and command logs. All users can access logs and print reports from either the
Server Administrator home page or from its command line interface.
Users must be logged in with Administrator privileges to clear logs or must be
logged in with Administrator or Power User privileges to e-mail logs to their
designated service contact.
When viewing Server Administrator logs, you can click Help on the global
navigation bar for more detailed information about the specific window you
are viewing. Server Administrator log help is available for all windows accessible
to the user based on user privilege level and the specific hardware and
software groups that Server Administrator discovers on the managed system.
