Intel® Server System S7000FC4UR TPS Event Filtering and Alerting
Revision 1.0

24. Event Filtering and Alerting
The BMC supports the following IPMI 2.0 alerting features.
Platform event filtering (PEF)
Dial paging
Alert over LAN
Alert over serial / point-to-point protocol (PPP).
24.1 Platform Event Filtering (PEF)
The BMC monitors platform health and logs failure events into the SEL. PEF provides a flexible,
general mechanism that enables the BMC to perform selectable actions triggered by a
configurable set of platform events. The BMC supports the following PEF actions:
Power off
Power cycle
Reset
Diagnostic interrupt
OEM action
Alerts
24.2 Alert-over-LAN
Standard and advanced PET alerts are supported over a LAN. Alert-over-LAN is used to notify
remote system management application about PEF-selected events, regardless of the state of
the operating system. LAN alerts can be sent over any of the LAN channels. The BMC
implements three OEM PEF parameters associated with PET alerts over the LAN.
24.3 Alert Policies
Associated with each PEF entry is an alert policy that determines whether the alert is a dial
page or a PPP alert, and over which IPMI channel the alert is to be sent. There is a maximum of
20 alert policy entries. There are no pre-configured entries in the alert policy table because the
destination types and alerts may vary by user. Each entry in the alert policy table contains
4 bytes for a maximum table size of 80 bytes.
24.4 MIB File
A modular information block (MIB) text file is provided with the BMC firmware to aide an SNMP
browser in decoding the PETs generated by the BMC. The file provides information on PETs
associated with the default PEF filter entries only. Users must extend the MIB file for any user-
configured PEF filters.
