Platform Event Filtering (Pef) Sub-Task; Figure 32. Platform Event Filter Configuration - Dell 3250 Product Manual

Platform Event Filtering (PEF) Sub-task

The Platform Event Filtering (PEF) subtask provides a way to configure 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 and system reset, and triggering an alert message.
The BMC maintains an event filter table that is used to select the events that will trigger an action.
Each time the BMC receives an internally or externally generated event message it compares the
event data against the entries in the event filter table. If it finds a match, it performs the configured
action(s).
The initial PEF subtask screen is shown in Figure 32.
After completing this screen, click Next to move to the next screen to continue this subtask.
Enable PEF
This option is used to globally enable or disable platform event filtering.
Enable SEL Event Messages for PEF Actions
When this option is checked, each action triggered by a filter generates an event message for the
action. This allows the occurrence of PEF-triggered events to be logged in the System Event Log if
event logging is enabled.
