5.6 PEF Management
Platform Event Filtering (PEF) provides a mechanism for configuring the IPMI service to take selected actions
(defined as Event Filter Action) on a generated event. These actions include operations such as system power-off,
system reset, as well as triggering an alert. The BMC scans all entries in the table and collects a set of actions to be
performed as determined by the entries that were matched. Note that Event Filtering function is independent of
Event Logging.
3 management tasks on the specified event can be configured through PEF: Event Filter, Alert Policy, and LAN
Destination. To access them, click their tabs.
5.6.1 Event Filter Tab
A PEF implementation is recommended to provide at least 16 entries in the event filter table. You can filter an event{s)
based on the sensor type, sensor name as well as the event description to perform certain actions when this event
happens.
The fileds of Event Filter are explained below:
PEF ID : displays the ID for the newly configured PEF entry (read-only).
Filter configuration : indicates whether the PEF setting is enabled or disabled.
Event Filter Action : indicates the action to perform on this event.
Event Severity : the event severity defined by the administrator.
Sensor Name : the particular sensor about which the event is generated.
Add : Click to add a new event filtert.
Modify : Click to modify an existing entries.
