Hello,
I was trying to collect SEL logs via syslog on a Dell 1950 with a
static 2.6.35.5 kernel, and turned to /etc/init.d/ipmievd(ipmievd -I
open open). It's OpenIPMI-tools-2.0.16-11.el5(ipmitool-1.8.11).
In my test, ipmievd(8) put two lines in /var/log/messages read
<165>1 2011-10-08T12:52:13+08:00 dns1 ipmievd - - - Reading sensors...
<165>1 2011-10-08T12:52:14+08:00 dns1 ipmievd - - - Waiting for events...
Then I expected a test event sent to syslog after this command
# ipmitool event 1
Sending SAMPLE event: Temperature - Upper Critical - Going High
0 | Pre-Init Time-stamp | Temperature #0x30 | Upper Critical going high
# ipmitool sel list
...
27 | 10/08/2011 | 16:42:47 | Temperature #0x30 | Upper Critical
going high // this entry was generated by the test event
However, I failed to spot any related entry in /var/log/messages, so
what was I missing?
I confirmed some enables:
# ipmitool mc getenables
Receive Message Queue Interrupt : disabled
Event Message Buffer Full Interrupt : disabled
Event Message Buffer : enabled
System Event Logging : enabled
OEM 0 : disabled
OEM 1 : disabled
OEM 2 : disabled
And the following function reached "return 0" in a gdb session, of
course, otherwise it should log ERROR-level entries.
384 static int
385 openipmi_setup(struct ipmi_event_intf * eintf)
386 {
387 int i, r;
388
389 /* enable event message buffer */
390 lprintf(LOG_DEBUG, "Enabling event message buffer");
391 r = openipmi_enable_event_msg_buffer(eintf->intf);
392 if (r < 0) {
393 lprintf(LOG_ERR, "Could not enable event message buffer");
394 return -1;
395 }
396
397 /* enable OpenIPMI event receiver */
398 lprintf(LOG_DEBUG, "Enabling event receiver");
399 i = 1;
400 r = ioctl(eintf->intf->fd, IPMICTL_SET_GETS_EVENTS_CMD, &i);
401 if (r != 0) {
402 lperror(LOG_ERR, "Could not enable event receiver");
403 return -1;
404 }
405
406 return 0;
407 }
Thanks,
Kaiwang

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
