Configure iDRAC for audit logging

Use this procedure to manage the alerts, configure bulk alerts, granular alerts, and multiple syslog destinations in iDRAC.

Prerequisites

Before you configure iDRAC for audit logging, see the following for iDRAC related information:

About this task

There are 30 audit alerts that can be enabled globally or per alert. Severities can also be configured globally or per alert: critical, warning, and informational. Audit logs cannot be sent to a separate destination than the syslog. Separation of iDRAC audit logs can be done by parsing syslog at the syslog destination. For example:
Tue Jan 31 14:36:17 2023;10.234.93.12; <174>2023-01-31T22:36:42.113015-06:00 idrac-C0763W2 Severity: Informational, Category: Audit, MessageID: RAC1195, Message: User root via IP 10.234.94.12 requested state / configuration change to Alert Configuration using GUI.

For managing logs with RACADM, see Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 9 (iDRAC9) Version 3.00.00.00 User's Guide.
