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.
