Alerts provide advance warning of possible system failures. Each Sun server platform is equipped with a number of sensors that measure voltages, temperatures and other service-related attributes about the system. ILOM automatically polls these sensors and posts any events crossing a threshold to a ILOM event log, as well as generates alert message(s) to one or more customer-specified alert destinations.
ILOM tags all events or actions with LocalTime=GMT (or UTC). Browser clients show these events in LocalTime. This can cause apparent discrepancies in the event log. When an event occurs in ILOM, the event log shows it in UTC, but a client would show it local time. For more information about ILOM timestamps and clock settings, see Event Log Timestamps and ILOM Clock Settings.
