If the server is managed by the Chassis Management Module 2 or by the Lenovo XClarity Administrator, alerts are automatically forwarded to those management applications.

Lenovo XClarity Controller event log The Lenovo XClarity Controller monitors the physical state of the server and its components using sensors that measure internal physical variables such as temperature, power-supply voltages, fan speeds, and component status. The Lenovo XClarity Controller provides various interfaces to systems management software and to system administrators and users to enable remote management and control of a server.
“Viewing Event Logs” section in the XCC documentation compatible with your server at https:// pubs.lenovo.com/lxcc-overview/ Specifications Summary of the features and specifications of the server. Depending on the model, some features might not be available, or some specifications might not apply.
