An event is any important activity that takes place in the fabric. Details of events are stored in the event log. The Fabric Manager maintains a single consolidated event log for all events occurring in all platforms, partitions, and switches in the fabric. You can view the event log through the Events Console.

Events generated in the Fabric Manager are broadly classified into general events and Call Home events.

General Events: General events are audit and system generated events. These are user actions, such as user login, user logout, powering on a platform, commissioning a partition image, adding a switch, and so on. These events are generated by the Fabric Manager console.

Call Home Events: Call Home events are Fabric Management Platform (FMP) events, switch events, s-Par® events and platform management console events, which are critical in nature. For example, events generated during FRU replacements.
