Event Log
Overview The Management Card supports an event logging capability for all UPS
application firmware modules. This allows you to record and view UPS ,
Environmental Monitor, 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 will be logged,
except for SNMP authentication failures. Additionally, the Management
Card will log 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 47 .
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 information about how to access a list of the UPS , Environmental
Monitor, and Management Card events, see “Event List” page on
page 53 .
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 Serial Port 1 typically indicates that
PowerChute or PowerNet Manager performed the shutdown; a
graceful shutdown from Serial Port 0 typically indicates that a
management peripheral, such as PowerView or the Out-of-
Band Management Card, initiated the shutdown.
Web Interface The Log option in the Events menu accesses the event log. This log
displays all of the events that have been recorded since the log was last
deleted, in chronological order, with the most recent event displayed
first. 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). Once you log into the Control Console, press
C TRL -L to display
up to 300 events from the event log, with the most recent events
displayed first. You use the
S PACE B AR , as many times as necessary, to
view the recorded events. While viewing the log, you can type d and
press
E NTER to clear all events from the log.
