Chapter 3 on a real Ubuntu 24.04 workstation called mgmt with a real IPMI 2.0 controller beside it: reading the System Event Log with ipmitool, sel info, sel list and sel elist, slicing an eight-event overnight incident by subsystem, naming an uncorrectable-memory-ECC root cause and separating it from a survivable power-supply red herring, the Pre-Init clock and why a real BMC syncs it with NTP, one record in full, the genuine Dell iDRAC event-log reference and the vendor dialects, and closing the task without clearing the evidence.
