Dump iLO Event Log - HewlettPackard/python-ilorest-library GitHub Wiki

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: Dump 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"])

:

Define a function for printing log entries from the IEL entries.

def print_log_entries(log_entries):
   for log_entry in log_entries:
   sys.stdout.write(log_entry["Message"] + "\n")

Send another GET request to IEL entries URI. Then print log entry messages from link response.

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

:

Check for additional pages and display entries.

while 'NextPage' in response.dict["links"]:
     response = restobj.rest_get(entry["href"] + '?page=' + str(response.dict["links"]['NextPage']['page']))
     print_log_entries(response.dict["Items"])
