IPMI Event Log
The IPMI Event Log is a log that is generated by management controllers when they detect
significant or critical system management events. This includes messages for events such as
‘temperature threshold exceeded’, ‘voltage threshold exceeded’, ‘power fault’, etc. The Event
Log generator (the device generating an Event Log) notifies the system of the event by sending an
“Event Request Log” to the Event Receiver Device.
