Monitoring events

From Lenovo SDI Management Platform, you have access to a history list of all resource and audit events.

About this task​

A resource event identifies a hardware or orchestrator condition that occurred on a managed device, resource manager, or Lenovo SDI Management Platform. You can use these events to track and analyze hardware and orchestrator-server related issues.

An audit event is a record of user activities that were performed from a resource manager or Lenovo SDI Management Platform. You can use these audit events to track and analyze authentication-related issues.

The event log contains both resource and audit events. It can contain a maximum of 100,000 events from all sources. A maximum of 50,000 events can be from a single resource manager and its managed devices. A maximum of 1,000 events can be from a single managed device. When the maximum number of events is reached, the oldest event is discarded when the next event is received.

The Severity column identifies the severity of the alert. The following severity levels are used:

  • () Informational. No action is required.
  • () Warning. Action can be deferred, or no action is required.
  • () Critical. Immediate action is required.

The Serviceability column identifies whether the device requires maintenance service and who typically performs that service. The following serviceability types are used:

  • None. The alert is informational and does not require maintenance service.

  • () User. Take appropriate recovery action to resolve the issue.
