Event triggers are supported event-generating offsets for discrete type sensors. The offsets can
be found in the Generic Event/Reading Type Code or Sensor Type Code tables in the
Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification Second Generation Version 2.0,
depending on whether the sensor event/reading type is a generic or a sensor-specific response.
4. Assertion/De-assertion
Assertion and de-assertion indicators reveal the type of events this sensor generates:
-
As: Assertion
-
De: De-assertion
5. Readable Value/Offsets
-
Readable value indicates the type of value returned for threshold and other nondiscrete
type sensors.
-
Readable offsets indicate the offsets for discrete sensors that are readable by means of
the Get Sensor Reading command. Unless otherwise indicated, event triggers are
readable. Readable offsets consist of the reading type offsets that do not generate events.
6. Event Data
Event data is the data that is included in an event message generated by the associated sensor.
For threshold-based sensors, these abbreviations are used:
-
R: Reading value
-
T: Threshold value
7. Rearm Sensors
The rearm is a request for the event status for a sensor to be rechecked and updated upon a
transition between good and bad states. Rearming the sensors can be done manually or
automatically. This column indicates the type supported by the sensor. The following
abbreviations are used in the comment column to describe a sensor:
-
A: Auto-rearm
-
M: Manual rearm
-
I: Rearm by init agent
8. Default Hysteresis
The hysteresis setting applies to all thresholds of the sensor. This column provides the count of
hysteresis for the sensor, which can be 1 or 2 (positive or negative hysteresis, respectively).
9. Criticality
Criticality is a classification of the severity and nature of the condition. It also controls the
behavior of the front panel status LED.
10. Standby
Some sensors operate on standby power. If AC power is present, these sensors may access
and/or generate events when the main (system) power is off.
