The SEL probably isn't big or fast enough to take system logs. You could create something like this as part of printk, but I suspect that it would quickly overflow the SEL. > > Otherwise we’d need to set up a central host with passwords for dozens of > hosts to pull the SOL for logging and that doesn’t feel right either … -__ I know people that do this; it's not terrible. You do have all of your IPMI passwords in one place, that's the biggest issue, but IMHO you should be monitoring the output of your consoles, anyway. I support a program called ser2net that is capable of making SOL connections, logging the output, and allowing connections to the console. That would be a pretty complicated setup, but I can help you with it, if you like. -corey > > Grateful for any ideas … > Christian > > -- > Christian Theune · c...@flyingcircus.io · +49 345 219401 0 > Flying Circus Internet Operations GmbH · https://flyingcircus.io > Leipziger Str. 70/71 · 06108 Halle (Saale) · Deutschland > HR Stendal HRB 21169 · Geschäftsführer: Christian Theune, Christian Zagrodnick > > > > _______________________________________________ > Openipmi-developer mailing list > Openipmi-developer@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openipmi-developer _______________________________________________ Openipmi-developer mailing list Openipmi-developer@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openipmi-developer
