System-event log

The system event log contains messages of three types:
Information
Warning
Error
Each message contains date and time information, and it indicates the source of the
message (POST or the IMM).
Some messages in the system-event log are issued based on the sensor names and
other messages are issued based on the device instance; this can result in two
different messages being logged for the same event. For example, if fan 4 in the
MAX5 is removed, the following two event messages will be logged for the same
fan event:
The following table lists the fan that is associated with each sensor string and the
device on which the fan is located.
Information messages do not require action; they record significant
system-level events, such as when the server is started.
Warning messages do not require immediate action; they indicate possible
problems, such as when the recommended maximum ambient temperature
is exceeded.
Error messages might require action; they indicate system errors, such as
when a fan is not detected.
