Viewing Faults and Logs

This chapter includes the following sections:

Faults

Viewing the Fault Summary

Procedure
     Command or ActionPurpose
    Step 1Server# scope fault  

    Enters fault command mode.

     
    Step 2Server /fault # show discrete-alarm detail  

    Displays a summary of faults from discrete sensors.

     
    Step 3Server /fault # show threshold-alarm detail  

    Displays a summary of faults from threshold sensors.

     
    Step 4Server /fault # show pef detail  

    Displays a summary of platform event filters.

     

    This example displays a summary of faults from discrete sensors:

    Server# scope fault
Server /fault # show discrete-alarm
Name         Reading              Sensor Status
------------ -------------------- ------------------------------------
PSU2_STATUS  absent               Critical            

Server /fault #

    System Event Log

    Viewing the System Event Log

    Procedure
       Command or ActionPurpose
      Step 1Server# scope sel  

      Enters the system event log (SEL) command mode.

       
      Step 2Server /sel # show entries detail  

      For system events, displays timestamp, the severity of the event, and a description of the event. The detail keyword displays the information in a list format instead of a table format.

       

      This example displays the system event log:

      Server# scope sel
Server /sel # show entries

      Clearing the System Event Log

      Procedure
         Command or ActionPurpose
        Step 1Server# scope sel  

        Enters the system event log command mode.

         
        Step 2Server /sel # clear  

        You are prompted to confirm the action. If you enter y at the prompt, the system event log is cleared.

         

        This example clears the system event log:

        Server# scope sel
Server /sel # clear 
This operation will clear the whole sel.

          Clearing the CIMC Log

          Procedure
             Command or ActionPurpose
            Step 1Server# scope cimc  

            Enters CIMC command mode.

             
            Step 2Server /cimc # scope log  

            Enters CIMC log command mode.

             
            Step 3Server /cimc/log # clear  

            Clears the CIMC log.

             

            This example clears the log of CIMC events:

            Server# scope cimc
Server /cimc # scope log
Server /cimc/log # clear

            Configuring the CIMC Log Threshold

            You can specify the lowest level of messages that will be included in the CIMC log.

            Procedure
               Command or ActionPurpose
              Step 1Server# scope cimc  

              Enters CIMC command mode.

               
              Step 2Server /cimc # scope log  

              Enters CIMC log command mode.

               
              Step 3Server /cimc/log # set local-syslog-severity level  

              The severity level can be one of the following, in decreasing order of severity:

              • emergency

              • alert

              • critical

              • error

              • warning

              • notice

              • informational

              • debug

              Note   

              The CIMC does not log any messages with a severity below the selected severity. For example, if you select error, then the CIMC log will contain all messages with the severity Emergency, Alert, Critical, or Error. It will not show Warning, Notice, Informational, or Debug messages.

               
              Step 4Server /cimc/log # commit  

              Commits the transaction to the system configuration.

               
              Step 5Server /cimc/log # show local-syslog-severity  (Optional)

              Displays the configured severity level.

               

              This example shows how to configure the logging of messages with a minimum severity of Warning: 

              Server# scope cimc
Server /cimc # scope log
Server /cimc/log # set local-syslog-severity warning
Server /cimc/log *# commit
Server /cimc/log # show local-syslog-severity
    Local Syslog Severity: warning

Server /cimc/log #

              Sending the CIMC Log to a Remote Server

              You can configure profiles for one or two remote syslog servers to receive CIMC log entries.

              Procedure
                 Command or ActionPurpose
                Step 1Server# scope cimc  

                Enters CIMC command mode.

                 
                Step 2Server /cimc # scope log  

                Enters CIMC log command mode.

                 
                Step 3Server /cimc/log # scope server {1 | 2}  

                Selects one of two remote syslog server profiles and enters the command mode for configuring the profile.

                 
                Step 4Server /cimc/log/server # set server-ip ip-address  

                Specifies the remote syslog server IP address.

                 
                Step 5Server /cimc/log/server # set enabled {yes | no}  

                Enables the sending of CIMC log entries to this syslog server.

                 
                Step 6Server /cimc/log/server # commit  

                Commits the transaction to the system configuration.

                 

                This example shows how to configure a remote syslog server profile and enable the sending of CIMC log entries: 

                Server# scope cimc
Server /cimc # scope log
Server /cimc/log # scope server 2
Server /cimc/log/server # set server-ip 192.0.2.34
Server /cimc/log/server *# set enabled yes
Server /cimc/log/server *# commit
Server /cimc/log/server #
