Event Log

Overview

The Management Card supports event logging for all UPS application

 

firmware modules (sumx300.bin, sy300.bin, and dp3e300.bin.) This

 

allows you to record and view UPS, Environmental Monitoring SmartSlot

 

Card, and Management Card events.

 

You can use any of the following to view the event log:

 

•

Web interface

 

•

Control Console

 

•

FTP

Logged events

By default, any event which causes an SNMP trap is logged, except for

 

SNMP authentication failures. Additionally, the Management Card logs

 

its abnormal internal system events. However, you can use the Actions

 

option in the Web interface’s Events menu to disable the logging of

 

events based on their assigned severity level, as described in Event

 

Actions (Web Interface only) on page 53.

 

Note: Some system (Management Card) events do not have a

 

 

severity level. Even if you disable the event log for all severity

 

 

levels, these no-severity events will still be logged.

 

For a list of the UPS, Environmental Monitoring SmartSlot Card, and

 

Management Card events, see Management Card and Device Events

 

on page 61.

 

Note: The event log will log a graceful shutdown of the UPS, even

 

 

when that shutdown was not initiated by the Management Card.

 

 

A graceful shutdown from SP=1 typically indicates that

 

 

PowerChute plus or PowerNet Manager performed the

 

 

shutdown. A graceful shutdown from SP=0 typically indicates

 

 

that a management peripheral, such as PowerView or the Out-

 

 

of-Band Management SmartSlot Card, initiated the shutdown.

Web interface

The Log option in the Events menu accesses the event log, which

 

displays up to the last 300 recorded events, in reverse chronological

 

order. A Delete Log button allows you to clear all events from the log.

Control Console

You can access the Management Card's Control Console from a local

 

computer (direct serial-cable connection) or over the network (using

 

Telnet). In the Control Console, press CTRL-Lto display the event log.

 

The most recent events are displayed first. Use the SPACE BAR to view

up to the last 300 recorded events. While viewing the log, type d and press ENTER to clear all events from the log.
