Get iLO Event Log

If not created already, create an instance of Rest or Redfish Object using the RestObject or RedfishObject class respectively. The class constructor takes iLO hostname/ ip address, iLO login username and password as arguments. The class also initializes a login session, gets systems resources and message registries.

Rest Object creation:

REST_OBJ = RestObject(iLO_host, login_account, login_password)

Redfish Object creation:

REDFISH_OBJ = RedfishObject(iLO_host, login_account, login_password)

Example 23: Get iLO Event Log

The method ex23_dump_ilo_event_log takes an instance of rest object ( or redfish object if using Redfish API ) as argument.

def ex23_dump_ilo_event_log(restobj):

Find and get the system resource for log service.

instances = restobj.search_for_type("LogService.")

Send HTTP GET request to log service IEL URI(s).

for instance in instances:
   if instance["href"].endswith("IEL"):
       tmp = restobj.rest_get(instance["href"])

Send another GET request to IEL entries URI.

for entry in tmp.dict["links"]["Entries"]:
    response = restobj.rest_get(entry["href"])

From the IEL entries link response print log entry messages.

for log_entry in response.dict["Items"]:
    sys.stdout.write(log_entry["Message"] + "\n")
