Hi Corey,
On my system SEL is full with 100%. And the sensor
SEL_FULLNESS's value is 100.00. I think this is showing SEL is 100% full.
Also can we add a function in domain.c to clear the SEL?
Like:
Similar to
function: ipmi_domain_get_event_rcvr() where we are calling
ipmi_domain_iterate_mcs()
and passing a callback function which will be called for each of the MCs in the
domain. Now in that call back function can we call ipmi_mc_sel_clear() function
to clear the SEL of that MC. In this way we may clear the whole SEL of the
system.
Please suggest if the approach is ok.
Thanks and regards
S Sarath

Oops, that may not be the best way to do it, although it still will
work. That's sort of an internal function.

I've never seen that implemented. Getting the fullness of the SEL is a
little tricky. OpenIPMI maintains events on a domain basis (collecting
all the events in a domain, which can contain multiple SELs if more than
one controller has an SEL) and on a per-MC basis. You can get the
number of entries in the domain with ipmi_domain_sel_entries_used(), but
it makes little sense to get the number of unused entries in a domain,
since that could be misleading (one SEL could be full and the other
not). You can get the number of entries available with
ipmi_mc_sel_get_num_entries() and the current count used with
ipmi_mc_sel_entries_used().
However, IMHO that's not the best way to manage the SEL. I think the
best way is to keep the SEL clear. When an event comes in, store it in
local store, handle it, and delete it immediately. That way the SEL is
always fairly empty and ready for events all the time.

The best way to do this is to go through all the events with
ipmi_domain_first_event() and ipmi_domain_next_event(), save them, and
delete them with ipmi_event_delete(). There's not a function in
openipmi to save a copy of the SEL.
