Logs and Alerts
Dell Blade I/O Manager polls the I/O Aggregator device in 60–second intervals for new log entries and
alerts. The Logs and Alerts page displays all log entries and alerts from the I/O Aggregator device.
This page lists log entries and alerts in table format with the following columns:
• Severity: Informational, Warning, or Critical.
• Date and Time: Date and time stamp of when the device recorded the log entry or alert.
• Description: Description of the log entry.
You can perform the following actions on this page:
• Click Refresh, if you want to display log entries and alerts from the device before the next polling
period.
• From the Filter By menu, you can filter the log entries and alerts by severity type.

Alerts in Dell Blade I/O Manager reside in RAM. You can configure the number of alerts listed in Dell Blade

Alerts page.
