iLO Event Log
The event log provides a record of significant events recorded by the iLO firmware.
Logged events include major server events such as a server power outage or a server reset, and iLO
events such as unauthorized login attempts. Other logged events include successful or unsuccessful
browser and Remote Console logins, virtual power and power-cycle events, clearing the log, and some
configuration changes, such as creating or deleting a user.
iLO provides secure password encryption, tracking all login attempts and maintaining a record of all login
failures. The
Authentication Failure Logging
setting allows you to configure logging criteria for failed
authentications. The event log captures the client name for each logged entry to improve auditing
capabilities in DHCP environments, and records the account name, computer name, and IP address.
For a list of the errors that might appear in the event log, see the error messages guide for your server.

Event log details
•
ID
—The event ID number. Events are numbered in the order in which they are generated.
By default, the event log is sorted by the ID, with the most recent event at the top.
•
Severity
—The importance of the detected event.
•
Description
—The description identifies the component and detailed characteristics of the recorded
event. If the iLO firmware is rolled back to an earlier version, the description
UNKNOWN EVENT TYPE
might be displayed for events recorded by the newer firmware. You can resolve this issue by updating
the firmware to the latest supported version, or by clearing the event log.
•
Last Update
—The date and time when the latest event of this type occurred. This value is based on
the date and time stored by the iLO firmware.
If the iLO firmware did not recognize the date and time when an event was updated,
[NOT SET]
is
displayed.
•
Count
—The number of times this event has occurred (if supported).
In general, important events generate an event log entry each time they occur. They are not
consolidated into one event log entry.
