Event logs

Error codes and messages are displayed in the following types of event logs:
v POST event log: This log contains the most recent error codes and messages
v System-event log: This log contains POST and system management interrupt
v Integrated management module (IMM2) event log: This log contains a filtered
v DSA event log: This log is generated by the Dynamic System Analysis (DSA)

that were generated during POST. You can view the contents of the POST event
log from the Setup utility (see "Starting the Setup utility" on page 128). For
more information about POST error codes, see Appendix A, "UEFI/POST error
codes," on page 297.
(SMI) events and all events that are generated by the baseboard management
controller that is embedded in the integrated management module (IMM). You
can view the contents of the system-event log through the Setup utility and
through the Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) program (as IPMI event log).
The system-event log is limited in size. When it is full, new entries will not
overwrite existing entries; therefore, you must periodically clear the
system-event log through the Setup utility. When you are troubleshooting an
error, you might have to save and then clear the system-event log to make the
most recent events available for analysis. For more information about the
system-event log, see Appendix D, "Integrated management module II (IMM2)
error messages," on page 349.
Messages are listed on the left side of the screen, and details about the selected
message are displayed on the right side of the screen. To move from one entry
to the next, use the Up Arrow (↑) and Down Arrow (↓) keys.
Some IMM sensors cause assertion events to be logged when their setpoints are
reached. When a setpoint condition no longer exists, a corresponding deassertion
event is logged. However, not all events are assertion-type events.
subset of all IMM, POST, and system management interrupt (SMI) events. You
can view the IMM event log through the IMM web interface. For more
information, see "Logging on to the web interface" on page 138. You can also
view the IMM event log through the Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) program
(as the ASM event log). For more information about IMM error messages, see
Appendix D, "Integrated management module II (IMM2) error messages," on
page 349.
