Access DIMM error correction logs from Intersight API

[darksea]

Is it possible to access the DIMM error correction logs through the Intersight API?

The SEL logs contain messages such as:

bbd | 03/05/2024 13:22:28 AEDT | CIMC | Memory DDR4_P2_H2_ECC #0x99 | read 3 correctable ECC errors on CPU2 DIMM H2  | Asserted

It appears the the Cisco UCS C-Series Servers REST API doco indicates it can access the SEL log entries:

https://10.10.10.10/redfish/v1/Chassis/1/LogServices/SEL/Entries

but I would like to be able to access them through the Intersight API and I do not see any such reference in the API or example docs.

Is there an example of the best way to monitor for these DIMM alerts/messages?

Which kind of servers are you looking to monitor?  Standalone racks, Intersight Managed Mode blades/racks, or UCS Managed Mode blades/racks?

With Intersight Managed Mode servers connected to fabric interconnects (https://intersight.com/apidocs/introduction/hw-memory/#enum-host-type) you can retrieve memory statistics via the metrics explorer and API (using the Query Code tab).

As it stands currently, for standalone racks you would have to retrieve it via redfish or ipmi, or programmatically downloading the entire SEL and parsing it.  I would recommend submitting feedback in the Intersight app if you are looking for the above functionality that IMM has to apply to standalone rack servers.
