The log displays the following information:

id—The event ID number. Events are numbered in the order in which they are generated.

By default, the log is sorted by the ID, with the most recent event at the top. A factory reset
will reset the counter.

Severity—The importance of the detected event.

Possible values follow:

Informational—The event provides background information.

Caution—The event is significant but does not indicate performance degradation.

Critical—The event indicates a service loss or an imminent service loss. Immediate attention
is needed.

Repaired—An event has undergone corrective action.

Class—Identifies the component or subsystem that identified the logged event.

Last Update—The date and time, as reported by the server clock, when the latest event of this
type occurred. This value is based on the date and time stored by iLO.

The iLO date and time can be synchronized through the following:

System ROM (during POST only)

Insight Management Agents (in the OS)

NTP server (configured in iLO)

Onboard Administrator (blade servers only)

If iLO did not recognize the date and time when an event was updated, [NOT SET] is
displayed.

Initial Update—The date and time, as reported by the server clock, when the first event of this
type occurred. This value is based on the date and time stored by iLO.

If iLO did not recognize the date and time when the event was first created, [NOT SET] is
displayed.

Count—The number of times this event has occurred (if supported).

In general, serious events generate an event log entry each time they occur. They are not
consolidated into one event log entry.

When less important events are repeated, they are consolidated into one event log entry, and
the Count and Last Update values are updated. Each event type has a specific time interval
that determines whether repeated events are consolidated or a new event is logged.

Description—The description identifies the component and detailed characteristics of the
recorded event.

If the iLO firmware is rolled back, the description UNKNOWN EVENT TYPE might be displayed
for events recorded by the newer firmware. You can resolve this issue by updating the firmware
to the latest supported version, or by clearing the log.
