NOTE: For corrective actions, see the appropriate documentation. |
Temperature Sensor Events
The temperature sensor event messages help protect critical components by alerting the systems management console when the temperature rises inside the chassis. These event messages use additional variables, such as sensor location, chassis location, previous state, and temperature sensor value or state.
Voltage Sensor Events
The voltage sensor event messages monitor the number of volts across critical components. These messages provide status and warning information for voltage sensors for a particular chassis.
Fan Sensor Events
The cooling device sensors monitor how well a fan is functioning. These messages provide status warning and failure messages for fans for a particular chassis.
Processor Status Events
The processor status messages monitor the functionality of the processors in a system. These messages provide processor health and warning information of a system.
Power Supply Events
The power supply sensors monitor the functionality of the power supplies. These messages provide status and warning information for power supplies for a particular system.
Memory ECC Events
The memory ECC event messages monitor the memory modules in a system. These messages monitor the ECC memory correction rate and the type of memory events that occurred.
BMC Watchdog Events
The BMC watchdog operations are performed when the system hangs or crashes. These messages monitor the status and occurrence of these events in a system.
Memory Events
The memory modules can be configured in different ways in particular systems. These messages monitor the status, warning, and configuration information about the memory modules in the system.
Hardware Log Sensor Events
The hardware logs provide hardware status messages to the system management software. On particular systems, the subsequent hardware messages are not displayed when the log is full. These messages provide status and warning messages when the logs are full.
Drive Events
The drive event messages monitor the health of the drives in a system. These events are generated when there is a fault in the drives indicated.
Intrusion Events
The chassis intrusion messages are a security measure. Chassis intrusion alerts are generated when the system's chassis is opened. Alerts are sent to prevent unauthorized removal of parts from the chassis.
BIOS Generated System Events
The BIOS generated messages monitor the health and functionality of the chipsets, I/O channels, and other BIOS-related functions. These system events are generated by the BIOS.
R2 Generated System Events
Cable Interconnect Events
The cable interconnect messages are used for detecting errors in the hardware cabling.
Battery Events
Entity Presence Events
The entity presence messages are used for detecting different hardware devices.
