Hi Lei,

I enable SEL_LOGGER_SEND_TO_LOGGING_SERVICE option for phosphor-sel-logger and then would generate IPMI SEL logs from phosphor-logging successfully.

But the phosphor-logging still has other events issued from elog function and also put them in the "/var/lib/phosphor-logging/errors" directory.

For example:

00000000  03 00 00 00 03 00 00 00  03 00 00 00 67 ff e6 38   |............g..8|
00000010  7a 01 00 00 32 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 78 79 7a 2e  |z...2.......xyz.|
00000020  6f 70 65 6e 62 6d 63 5f  70 72 6f 6a 65 63 74 2e   |openbmc_project.|
00000030  43 65 72 74 73 2e 45 72  72 6f 72 2e 49 6e 76 61  |Certs.Error.Inva|
00000040  6c 69 64 43 65 72 74 69  66 69 63 61 74 65 01 00  |lidCertificate..|
00000050  00 00 00 00 00 00 09 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 5f 50  |.............._P|
00000060  49 44 3d 38 37 35 34 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |ID=8754.........|
00000070  19 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  76 33 2e 37 2e 30 2d 34  |........v3.7.0-4|
00000080  2d 67 66 32 36 39 36 39  66 64 34 2d 64 69 72 74  |-gf26969fd4-dirt|
00000090  79 67 ff e6 38 7a 01 00  00                     |yg..8z...|
00000099

This event type is not IPMI System/OEM SEL, so "ipmitool sel elist" would result in the unspecified error:

# ipmitool sel elist
Get SEL Entry 0 command failed: Unspecified error
Get SEL Entry 0 command failed: Unspecified error

How do you deal with these events that not belong to IPMI SEL logs ?

Thanks.

Best Regards
