Web/SNMP Management SmartSlot Card User’s Guide 51
Events Menu
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 C
TRL
-L to display the event log.
The most recent events are displayed first. Use the S
PACE
B
AR
to view
up to the last 300 recorded events. While viewing the log, type d and
press E
NTER
to clear all events from the log.
