Event logs

An alert is a message or other indication that signals an event or an impending event. Alerts are generated by the ThinkSystem System Manager or by UEFI in the servers. These alerts are stored in the ThinkSystem System Manager Event Log. If the server is managed by the Lenovo XClarity Administrator, alerts are automatically forwarded to those management applications.

Note
For a listing of events, including user actions that might need to be performed to recover from an event, see Messages.

ThinkSystem System Manager event log​

The ThinkSystem System Manager monitors the physical state of the server and its components using sensors that measure internal physical variables such as temperature, power-supply voltages, fan speeds, and component status. The ThinkSystem System Manager provides various interfaces to system management software and to system administrators and users to enable remote management and control of a server.
