NOTE: The log history may be required for future troubleshooting and diagnostic purposes. Therefore, it is recommended
that you save the log files.
NOTE: OMSA may send duplicate SNMP traps or log duplicate events in the Alert Log page or in the operating system
log file. The duplicate traps and events are logged either when OMSA services are manually restarted or when the device
sensor still indicates a non-normal state when OMSA services starts after an operating system reboot.
For detailed information about alert messages, see the Server Administrator Messages Reference Guide at dell.com/
openmanagemanuals.
Command Log
NOTE: If the Command log displays invalid XML data (for example, when the XML data generated for the selection is not
well formed), click Clear Log and then redisplay the log information.
Use the Command log to monitor all of the commands issued by Server Administrator users. The Command log tracks logins,
logouts, systems management software initialization, shutdowns initiated by systems management software, and records the
last time the log was cleared. The size of the command log file can be specified as per your requirement.
To access the Command log, click System, click the Logs tab, and click Command.
Information displayed in the Command log includes:
●
The date and time that the command was invoked
● The user that is currently logged in to the Server Administrator home page or the CLI
● A description of the command and its related values
NOTE:
The log history may be required for future troubleshooting and diagnostic purposes. Therefore, it is recommended
that you save the log files.
