How can an administrator access a record of alerts in the iDRAC GUI?

To access a record of alerts in the iDRAC GUI, navigating to the Maintenance section and selecting the System Event Log is the correct approach. The System Event Log captures a variety of hardware and system events, including critical alerts, warnings, and information messages generated by the system. This log provides detailed insights into issues that may have occurred, allowing administrators to monitor and troubleshoot the server effectively.

The other sections listed do not provide a dedicated area for reviewing alert logs. "System > Details" and "System > Overview" focus more on general system status and information rather than specific alert records. "Troubleshooting > Lifecycle Log" is designed to track the status and changes to firmware and other components but does not compile alerts in the same way as the System Event Log. Hence, the Maintenance > System Event Log remains the most appropriate option for reviewing alerts.
