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 Action Purpose
Step 1

Server# scope fault

Enters the fault command mode.

Step 2

Server /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 3

Server /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 4

Server /fault/pef # commit

Commits the transaction to the system configuration.

Example

This example configures the platform event alert for an event: 

Server# scope fault
Server /fault # scope pef 5
Server /fault/pef # set action reboot
Server /fault/pef *# commit
Server /fault/pef # show
Platform Event Filter Event                       Action              
--------------------- --------------------------- -----------  
5                    Processor Assert Filter         reboot                  

Server /fault/pef #

Resetting Event Platform Filters

Procedure

  Command or Action Purpose
Step 1

Server# scope fault

Enters the fault command mode.

Step 2

Server /fault # set platform-event-enabled yes

Enables platform event alerts.

Step 3

Server /fault # commit

Commits the transaction to the system configuration.

Step 4

Server /fault # reset-event-filters

Resets the platform event filters.

Step 5

Server /fault # show pef

Displays the latest platform event filters.

Example

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
