failed authentications. You can configure tracking failed login attempts for every attempt or every
second, third, or fifth attempt, and captures the client name for each logged entry to improve
auditing capabilities in DHCP environments, as well as recording account name, computer name,
and IP address. When login attempts fail, iLO 2 also generates alerts and sends them to a remote
management console.
Events logged by higher versions of iLO 2 firmware might not be supported by earlier versions. If
an event is logged by an unsupported firmware, the event is listed as UNKNOWN EVENT TYPE.
You can clear the event log to eliminate these entries, or update the firmware to the latest supported
version.
To access the iLO 2 Log, click System Status>iLO 2 Log.
To clear the event log:
1. Click Clear Event Log to clear the event log of all previously logged information.
2. Click OK to confirm that you want to clear the event log. A line indicating that the log has
been cleared is logged.
IML
The IML page displays the Integrated Management Log, which is a record of historical events that
have occurred on the server as reported by various software components. Events are generated
by the system ROM and by services like the System Management (health) driver. The IML enables
you to view logged remote server events. Logged events include all server-specific events recorded
by the system health driver, including operating system information and ROM-based POST codes.
For more information, see to the server guide.
Entries in the IML can assist during issue diagnosis or help identify possible issues before they
occur. Preventative action might be recommended to avoid possible disruption of service. iLO 2
manages the IML, which can be accessed using a supported browser, even when the server is off.
The ability to view the event log even when the server is off can be helpful when troubleshooting
remote host server issues.
You can sort the log by clicking the header of any column of data. After the sort completes, clicking
the same column header again sorts the log in reverse of its current order. Very large logs will take
several minutes to sort and display. You can clear the events in this log on the server's Insight
Manager Web Agents home page.
The iLO 2 processor records the following information to the IML based upon the occurrences in
the system.
• Fan inserted
• Fan removed
• Fan failure
• Fan degraded
• Fan repaired
• Fan redundancy lost
• Fans redundant
• Power supply inserted
• Power supply removed
• Power supply failure
• Power supplies redundancy lost
• Power supplies redundant
• Temperature over threshold
