Events are messages logged when system management events are detected. The events can be
logged either by the SP or by the server. Table 1.3 shows the event log management option names
and command names used when you are logged into the Web Manager, when you have selected a
target device from the spshell menu on the MergePoint 5224/5240 SP manager console and when
you are entering the ssh command on a remote workstation. These options display the system event
log (SEL) menu from the server where the SP resides. The user can view or clear event logs
directly on the SP using the ssh command. All options are only available for managed servers with
SPs.
