Dell Remote Access Controller 4 Firmware Version 1.30 Using the Drac 4 Log, Date/ Time, User

Using the DRAC 4 Log

The DRAC 4 Log is a persistent log maintained in the DRAC 4 firmware. The log contains a list of user actions (such as log in and log out) and alerts issued by the DRAC 4. The oldest entries are overwritten when the log becomes full. If the DRAC 4 loses communication with the managed system, all entries that the DRAC 4 would have added to the SEL, such as a power failure, are added to the DRAC 4 Log until communication is re-established.

The DRAC 4 Log provides the information in Table 4-25.
