Configuring Platform Event Filters

This chapter includes the following sections:

Platform Event Filters

A platform event filter (PEF) can trigger an action. For each PEF, you can choose the action to be taken (or take no action) when a platform event occurs.

Configuring Platform Event Filters

You can configure actions and alerts for the following platform event filters:

ID Platform Event Filter

1

Temperature Critical Assert Filter

2

Voltage Critical Assert Filter

3

Current Assert Filter

4

Fan Critical Assert Filter

5

Processor Assert Filter

6

Power Supply Critical Assert Filter

7

Memory Critical Assert Filter

Procedure
     Command or ActionPurpose
    Step 1Server# scope fault  

    Enters the fault command mode.

     
    Step 2Server /fault # scope pef id  

    Enters the platform event filter command mode for the specified event.

    See the Platform Event Filter table for event ID numbers.

     
    Step 3Server /fault/pef # set action {none | reboot | power-cycle | power-off}  

    Selects the desired system action when this event occurs. The action can be one of the following:

    • none —No system action is taken.

    • reboot —The server is rebooted.

    • power-cycle —The server is power cycled.

    • power-off —The server is powered off.

     
    Step 4Server /fault/pef # commit  

    Commits the transaction to the system configuration.

     

    This example configures the platform event alert for an event: 

    Server# scope fault
Server /fault # scope pef 11
Server /fault/pef # set action reboot
Server /fault/pef *# commit
Server /fault/pef # show
Platform Event Filter Event                       Action              
--------------------- --------------------------- -----------  
11                    Memory Assert Filter        reboot                  

Server /fault/pef #

    Resetting Event Platform Filters

    Procedure
       Command or ActionPurpose
      Step 1Server# scope fault  

      Enters the fault command mode.

       
      Step 2Server /fault # set platform-event-enabled yes  

      Enables platform event alerts.

       
      Step 3Server /fault # commit  

      Commits the transaction to the system configuration.

       
      Step 4Server /fault # reset-event-filters  

      Resets the platform event filters.

       
      Step 5Server /fault # show pef  

      Displays the latest platform event filters.

       

      The following example enables platform event alerts: 

      Server# scope fault
Server /fault # set platform-event-enabled yes
Server /fault *# commit
Server /fault # show
Platform Event Enabled  
----------------------- 
   yes    

Server /fault # reset-event-filters
Server /fault # show pef  
Platform Event Filter   Event                             Action
--------------------- ----------------------------------- -----------
1                     Temperature Critical Assert Filter  none
2                     Voltage Critical Assert Filter      none
3                     Current Assert Filter               none
4                     Fan Critical Assert Filter          none
5                     Processor Assert Filter             none
6                     Power Supply Critical Assert Filter none
7                     Memory Critical Assert Filter       none
