HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User Guide - HP Business ...

System log
The System Log subcategory is in the Active Onboard Administrator category. The System Log displays
logged information of events within the Onboard Administrator.
Events are logged from the top of the list to the bottom, with the most recent logged event appearing at the
top of the list. The system log can be scrolled utilizing the scroll bar on the right side of the log screen (if the
log is larger than the display box). The log has a maximum capacity of 18.42 KB and automatically deletes
the oldest logged event first (first in, first out).
To clear the list of all logged events in the system log, click the Clear button on the lower-right below the
system log display.
Extended system log
You can also retain an extended system log with a maximum capacity of 300 KB. The extended system log
can be saved to a USB device upon system reboot.
CAUTION: Extended system log data is not retained in the event of a power loss.
Remote system logging
Remote system logging is a feature that can be used to send Onboard Administrator syslog messages to a
remote server on the network for persistent storage. The syslog messages are sent from Onboard
Administrator using the UDP protocol on a port that can be specified by the user. The default remote syslog
port is 514.
Onboard Administrators Remote System Logging feature follows the guidelines in RFC3164
(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3164.txt).
In most Linux systems, remote system logging can be enabled by starting syslogd with the "-r" option. The
remote syslog port must also be opened in the firewall. For more information, see the documentation for your
particular distribution. Windows® operating systems do not have native support for remote system logging.
Any application that listens on UDP port 514 or the specified syslog port can receive remote system log
messages from the OA.
Once configured, Onboard Administrator remote system logging feature can be tested using the GUI Test
button on the configuration page or using the CLI TEST SYSLOG command.
