Reset ESKM Event Log

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 40: reset ESKM event log

The method ex40_reset_ESKM_eventlog takes an instance of rest object ( or redfish object if using Redfish API ) as arguments.

def ex40_reset_ESKM_eventlog(restobj):

Find and get the ESKM settings URI from the systems resources collection.

instances = restobj.search_for_type("ESKM.")

Prepare the request body with ClearESKMLog.

for instance in instances:
    body = dict()
    body["Action"] = "ClearESKMLog"

Send HTTP POST request to the system URI(s) using the prepared request body.

response = restobj.rest_post(instance["href"], body)
restobj.error_handler(response)

A successful POST response will set the ESKM action to "ClearESKMLog" and return a success code, however the changes will go into effect only after a system reset or reboot.
