Server Administrator Logs

Server Administrator allows you to view and manage hardware, alert, and command logs. All users can access logs and print reports from either the Server Administrator home page or from its command line interface. Users must be logged in with Administrator privileges to clear logs or must be logged in with Administrator or Power User privileges to e-mail logs to their designated service contact.

For information about viewing logs and creating reports from the command line, see the Server Administrator Command Line Interface Guide at dell.com/openmanagemanuals.

When viewing Server Administrator logs, you can click Help ( ) for more detailed information about the specific window you are viewing. Server Administrator log help is available for all windows accessible to the user based on user privilege level and the specific hardware and software groups that Server Administrator discovers on the managed system.
