Sun Microsystems X4240, X4440, X4140 manual Interpreting Event Log Time Stamps

After you have selected a category of event, the Event Log table is updated with the specified events. The fields in the Event Log are described in TABLE C-1.

TABLE C-1Event Log Fields

Field	Description
Event ID	The number of the event, in sequence from number 1.
Time Stamp	The day and time the event occurred. If the Network Time Protocol
	(NTP) server is enabled to set the SP time, the SP clock will use
	Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). For more information about
	time stamps, see “Interpreting Event Log Time Stamps” on page 47.
Sensor Name	The name of a component for which an event was recorded. The
	sensor name abbreviations correspond to these components:
	sys: System or chassis
	• p0: Processor 0
	• p1: Processor 1
	• io: I/O board
	• ps: Power supply
	• fp: Front panel
	• ft: Fan tray

Interpreting Event Log Time Stamps

The system event log time stamps are related to the service processor clock settings. If the clock settings change, the change is reflected in the time stamps.

When the service processor reboots, the SP clock is set to Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 UTC

1970. The SP reboots as a result of the following:

■A complete system unplug/replug power cycle

■An IPMI command; for example, mc reset cold

■A command-line interface (CLI) command; for example, reset /SP
