Using the iLO Event Log
The iLO Event Log provides a record of significant events detected by iLO. Logged events include
major server events such as a server power outage or a server reset, and iLO events such as
unauthorized login attempts. Other logged events include successful or unsuccessful browser and
Remote Console logins, virtual power and power-cycle events, clearing the log, and some
configuration changes, such as creating or deleting a user and registering for Insight Remote
Support.
iLO provides secure password encryption, tracking all login attempts and maintaining a record of
all login failures. The Authentication Failure Logging setting allows you to configure logging criteria
for failed authentications. The Event Log captures the client name for each logged entry to improve
auditing capabilities in DHCP environments, and records the account name, computer name, and
IP address.
Earlier versions of iLO firmware might not support events logged by later versions of iLO firmware.
If an unsupported firmware version logs an event, 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.

id—The event ID number. Events are numbered in the order in which they are generated.
By default, the Event Log is sorted by the ID, with the most recent event at the top.
•
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 imminent service loss. Immediate attention
is needed.
•
Class—The component or subsystem that identified the logged event.
