Does IPMI log have directory that all ipmi log messages are saved? I know how to view ipmi log by command like – ipmitool -I lanplus -H -U root -P changeme chassis status. But I want to where this IPMI log is saved.
I search on internet and asked fellows. But I heard that IPMI log is not saved in any Linux directory. But I think it is not impossible, cause all unix system is saved as a file.
Thanks.

By default, no. The IPMI event log is stored on the BMC (baseboard management controller) itself. It will not send events to the OS of its own accord.
Take a look at the
ipmitool sel elistcommand, it can be used to access the event logs on a case by case basis.If you want to set up log collection from IPMI take a look at the
ipmievddaemon, which is included with OpenIPMI tools.ipmievdcan send the logs tosyslog.
