Errors and Reading Error Logs

Using Event Logs

To consult the event logs:
1. Connect to the system console.
2. Use to access the iLO 2 MP menu.
Control-B
3. Use the sl command to view event logs: System Event (E) and Forward Progress (F) logs are very useful in
determining the context of an error (See the following figure for an example):
NOTE Remember that:
• E shows only event logs for Warning, Critical, or Fatal faults by default; F shows all event
log outputs.
• System Event Logs (SELs) are never overwritten, unless they are first manually cleared:
since they employ ring buffering, oldest logs get overwritten first. Forward Progress Logs
(FPLs) are circular and contain additional, non-critical information.
• The alert threshold can be changed.
