For more information about Event and Error Messages, see the Dell Event Message Reference Guide
available at dell.com/support/home.
System event log
The Lifecycle Log contains events related to system, storage devices, network devices, firmware updates,
configuration changes, license messages, and so on. However, the system events are also available as a
separate log called the System Event Log (SEL).
When a system event occurs on a managed system, it is recorded in the SEL. The same SEL entries are
also available in the Lifecycle Log.
Firmware inventory
Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services provide information about each of the component firmware
installed on the target system and the available firmware images are cached in the Lifecycle Controller.
Additional information contained in the available properties is:
• Firmware type
• Installed and previous (rolled back) firmware versions
• Installation date
• Vendor IDs
• Revision number
Event alerts
Alerts and actions can be set for certain events that occur on a managed system. An event occurs when
the status of a system component has changed to the predefined condition. If an event matches an event
filter and this filter is configured to generate an alert (email, SNMP trap, or IPMI alert), an alert is sent to
one or more configured destinations. If the same event filter is also configured to perform an action (such
as reboot, power cycle, or power off the system), the action is performed. You can set only one action for
an event.
Embedded Tech Support Report
Embedded Tech Support Report is used to provide information about health report of hardware,
Operating System (OS), and software applications installed on a server. This feature includes application
information collected by Dell System E-Support Tool (DSET). This report is used by administrators to
resolve business-critical issues. Examples of data collected in an Embedded Tech Support Report are:
• Hardware and inventory
• Information on the server, Lifecycle Controller, and its components
• BIOS order boot information
• Lifecycle Controller log entries
• Firmware-related information
• vFlash SD Card partition information
• TTY logs for PERC controllers and NVMe PCIe SSD drives
