Platform Event Filtering (PEF) Subtask
The Platform Event Filtering (PEF) subtask provides a mechanism for conguring the BMC to take
selected actions on event messages that it receives or has internally generated. These actions include
operations such as system power-off and system reset as well as triggering the generation of an
alert.
PEF Conguration Initial View
After clicking on the PEF subtask, the rst view displayed to you is shown in Figure 43.
The BMC maintains an event lter table that is used to select which events trigger an action. Each
time the BMC receives an event message (either externally or internally generated) it compares the
event data against the entries in the event lter table. The BMC scans all entries in the table and
collects a set of actions to be performed as determined by the entries that were matched.
