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. 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.
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.
