Events are notifications that occur in response to some actions. The IPMI system event log (SEL) provides status information about the server’s hardware and software to the ILOM software, which displays the events in the ILOM web interface. To view event logs:
The Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager Login screen appears.
When you first try to access the ILOM SP, you are prompted to type the default user name and password:
Default user name: root
Default password: changeme
The System Event Logs page appears.
Page through entries - Use the page navigation controls at the top and bottom of the table to navigate forward and back through the available data in the table.
Note that selecting a greater number of entries might cause the web interface to respond slower than if you select fewer entries.
View the entries in the display by scrolling through the list - The following table provides descriptions about each column appearing in the log.

Note - The ILOM event log accumulates many types of events, including copies of IPMI entries. Clearing the ILOM event log clears all entries in the log, including the IPMI entries. However, clearing the ILOM event log entries does not clear the actual entries posted directly to an IPMI log.
