Log Descriptions

Log
Description
System
The top-level system log presents a subset of relevant operational event log entries. Specifically, this log reports subsystem level diagnostic events pertaining to system inventory actions and component health. These events can include power on and off, FRU insertion and removal, as well as health status events, such as service required, warning, or OK.
Event
The event log tracks informational, warning, or error messages about a managed device such as the addition or removal of a component or the failure of a component. The event properties recorded in the event log can include: the severity of the event, the event provider (class), and the date and time the event was logged.
The event log is helpful for troubleshooting the system when problems occur. It is also helpful for monitoring the performance of the managed device.
Audit
The audit log tracks all interface-related user actions, such as user logins, user logouts, configuration changes, and password changes. The user interfaces monitored for user actions include the Oracle ILOM web interface, CLI, Fault Management Shell (captive shell), and Restricted shell, as well as SNMP and IPMI client interfaces.
The audit log is helpful for auditing user activity to ensure that no privilege violations have occurred.
Syslog
The syslog defines a set of common features for event logging and a protocol for transmitting the log entries to a remote host.
The syslog is helpful if you want to combine events from multiple Oracle ILOM sessions in one place. The entries recorded in the syslog contain all the same information that you would see in the local event log.

Note - The syslog feature in Oracle ILOM is disabled by default. For instructions on how to configure the syslog properties in Oracle ILOM, refer to the Configuring Alert Notifications, Service Requests, or Remote Logging in Oracle ILOM Administrator’s Guide for Configuration and Maintenance Firmware Release 3.2.x.
