Clearing the Active Health System Log

If the log file is corrupted, or if you want to clear and restart logging, clear the Active Health System Log.

Prerequisites

  • Configure iLO Settings privilege

  • Enable Active Health System Logging is enabled in the Show Advanced Settings section of the Active Health System Log page.

Procedure
  1. Click Information in the navigation tree, and then click the Active Health System Log tab.

    The Active Health System Log is inaccessible when a download of the log is in progress.

  2. Click Show Advanced Settings.
  3. Scroll to the Clear Log section, and then click Clear.
  4. When prompted to confirm the request, click Yes, clear.

    iLO notifies you that the log is being cleared.

  5. Reset iLO.

    Resetting iLO is required because some Active Health System data is recorded to the log only during iLO startup. Performing this step ensures that a complete set of data is available in the log.

  6. Reboot the server.

    Rebooting the server is required because some information, such as the operating system name and version, is logged at server startup. Performing this step ensures that a complete set of data is available in the log.
