Specify at least one of the three attributes
(critical, warning or informational), else an
error message is displayed. A command log
entry is created after running the omconfig
command. The OS logging settings persist
on Server Administrator restart and
upgrade.

command is applicable when the OS

Enabling the command allows you to create
an automatic backup of ESM Logs. After
the backup is created, ESM logs of the

iDRAC/BMC are cleared. The process is
repeated whenever the logs are full.
The backup files are:
Windows: <Install_root>\omsa\log
\omsellog.xml

openmanage/omsellog.xml
