PEF

Platform Event Filtering (PEF) provides a mechanism for configuring the BMC to take
selected actions on event messages that it receives or has internally generated. These
actions include operations such as system power-off, system reset, as well as triggering
the generation of an alert.
In MegaRAC GUI, the PEF Management is used to configure the following:

Alert Policy

LAN Destination

To open PEF Management Settings page, click Configurations > PEF from the main
menu. A sample screenshot of PEF Management Settings Page is shown in the screen shot
below. Each tab is explained below.
Event Filter Tab
A PEF implementation is recommended to provide at least 16 entries in the event filter
table. A subset of these entries should be pre-configured for common system failure
events, such as over-temperature, power system failure, fan failure events, etc. Remaining
entries can be made available for 'OEM' or System Management Software configured
events. Note that individual entries can be tagged as being reserved for system use - so
this ratio of pre-configured entries to run-time configurable entries can be reallocated if
necessary.
