Using the SELViewer Utility
The System Event Log (SEL) viewer utility is an EFI-based program
(SELView.EFI) that is used to view the System Event records stored in the non-
volatile server management storage device of the HP Server. Using the
SELViewer Utility, you can do the following:
• Examine all system event log entries stored in the non-volatile storage area
of the server.
• Examine previously stored system event log entries from a file.
• Save the system event log entries to a file.
• Clear the System Event Log (SEL) entries from the non-volatile storage
area.
• Sort the SEL records by various fields such as Timestamp, Sensor Type
Number, Event Description, and Generator ID.
• Display the SEL records in raw HEX format as read from the HP Server.
