Managing and Recovering a Remote System 75
Using the DRAC 4 Log
The DRAC 4 Log is a persistent log maintained in the DRAC 4 firmware. The log contains a list
of user actions (such as log in and log out) and alerts issued by the DRAC 4. The oldest entries
are overwritten when the log becomes full. If the DRAC 4 loses communication with the
managed system, all entries that the DRAC 4 would have added to the SEL, such as a power
failure, are added to the DRAC 4 Log until communication is re-established.
The DRAC 4 Log provides the information in Table 4-25.
Using the DRAC 4 Log Page Buttons
The DRAC 4 Log page provides the following buttons (see Table 4-26).
