and FPL provide formatting options, the other two formats are raw hex mode and text mode.
Text mode gives a multi-line display that is more readable and decodes any physical location
data.
The (D)ump command dumps the entire log in keyword format. It is useful for capturing the log
contents to a file and emailing it for analysis by support personnel.
Navigation
to jump to a specific log number or to the first or last log entry.

Action
New events overwrite old FPL events once the FPL is full.
New events are not logged to the SEL when the SEL is full. Thus, it is
necessary for a user or an application to periodically clear the SEL. Reading
the SEL turns off the attention LED. Accessing this buffer is the only way to
turn off the attention LED when it is flashing.
New events overwrite old MPEL events once the MPEL is full.
The iLO 2 MPEL records the following events:
• iLO 2 MP login, logout attempts and login failure records
• MP firmware upgrade
• MP firmware activate event
• Console access
• Clearing of logs
MPEL logs cannot be cleared.
Formatting options are not available for MPEL.
The Live Logs feature enables you to apply a filter, and filter out logs by
cell or by partition, or to view only error logs.
The Clear Logs command clears both the FPL and SEL. It is useful for
getting a "clean log trace". A user with Console access right can view the
System Event Log. Only a user with iLO Configuration access right can clear
the logs. Login rights are sufficient to view the logs. But for clearing the logs,
iLO Configuration rights are required for all the partitions to which user has
access. But MPEL logs cannot be cleared.
For the event logs, the default format is Keyword (keyword plus hex). SEL
Navigation commands enable you to move forward or back a screen at a time, and
