Hi as per the document parameter Severity should be present, but that is not there in DellR470 servers, a

Hi @myoscodeRahul

Every entry logged in iDRAC LC logs should report severity property, can you check this message ID entry under "/redfish/v1/Managers/iDRAC.Embedded.1/LogServices/Lclog/Entries" and see if severity property is reported. Also can you submit a test event for TMP0120 and see if it reports severity property. See below where i just tried this and the LC log event does report severity property correctly.

Hi @texroemer
In SEL or Lclog I can see the severity parameter but when I enable EventService and configure a different ip for Eventlistener,

so on eventlistener I am seeing response without severity.

Is format of message on event and in Lclog are different?

[texroemer]

I just tested using GitHub Redfish event listener and SSE, created TMP warning event by patching property UpperCautionUser under "/redfish/v1/Chassis/System.Embedded.1/Sensors/InletTemp" to value lower than current reading, created TMP0120 and i see severity reported in the event logged. Can you try this workflow and confirm the event reports severity on your event listener?

SSE entry:

data: {"@odata.context":"/redfish/v1/$metadata#Event.Event","@odata.type":"#Event.v1_3_0.Event","Name":"Event Array","Events":[{"EventType":"Alert","EventId":"2162","EventTimestamp":"2026-02-12T10:30:38-06:00","MessageSeverity":"Warning","Message":"The system inlet temperature is greater than the upper warning threshold.","MessageId":"IDRAC.TMP0120","MemberId":"0","MessageArgs":null,"OriginOfCondition":{"@odata.id":"/redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1"},"Oem":{"Dell":{"AgentID":"SEL","BitMask":"4101","Category":"SystemHealth","ServerHostname":"WIN-BPS5NCK2K89"}}}],"Id":"1647","Context":"SSE-Subscription-11"}

Redfish event listener entry:

bodydata: {"@odata.context":"/redfish/v1/$metadata#Event.Event","@odata.type":"#Event.v1_3_0.Event","Name":"Event Array","Events":[{"EventType":"Alert","EventId":"2162","EventTimestamp":"2026-02-12T10:34:10-06:00","MessageSeverity":"Warning","Message":"The system inlet temperature is greater than the upper warning threshold.","MessageId":"IDRAC.TMP0120","MemberId":"0","MessageArgs":null,"OriginOfCondition":{"@odata.id":"/redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1"},"Oem":{"Dell":{"AgentID":"SEL","BitMask":"4101","Category":"SystemHealth","ServerHostname":"WIN-BPS5NCK2K89"}}}],"Id":"1751","Context":"Public"}

@texroemer in your response also you have "MessageSeverity":"Warning"

not Severity,

for me also,

I am seeing this parameter, but not the Severity ,

Even for me at Redfish Event listner I have these parameters only

Event received from <BMC_IP>
EventType: Alert
MessageId: IDRAC.TMP0120
EventId: 2162
EventTimestamp: 2026-02-13T09:45:37-06:00

Events streamed via SSE or Redfish event listener follow the Redfish Event schema, which uses MessageSeverity property. Severity has been deprecated as stated in the schema redfish.dmtf.org/schemas/v1/Event.v1_13_0.json.

LC log entries entries follow the LogEntry schema, which uses Severity property, this is defined in schema redfish.dmtf.org/schemas/v1/LogEntry.v1_21_0.json.

So the difference is due to two different Redfish schemas being used which is expected behavior.
