ipmi event buffer monitoring by ipmievd is useless. Eventually the IPMI SEL buffer is filled to 100% and all subsequent events are lost. I think ipmievd should clear the IPMI SEL buffer automatically to prevent complete loss of event monitoring after the SEL buffer is 100% full. Right now, ipmievd does this: (grep /var/log/messages) Nov 15 14:07:22 positron ipmievd: SEL buffer used at 100%, please consider clearing the SEL buffer Nov 15 14:07:22 positron ipmievd: SEL buffer overflow, no SEL message can be logged until the SEL buffer is cleared This is not useful nor helpful because nobody looks these messages unless there is a problem, by which time SEL is 100% full and all messages related to the problem have been lost. ipmitool already can clear this buffer manually (ipmitool sel clear), ipmievd should do this automatically, at least as an option. [root@positron ~]# rpm -qf `which ipmievd` ipmitool-1.8.11-14.el6_3.x86_64 K.O.
