Synopsis
mcelog enhancement update
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
A new mcelog package that adds the ability to parse machine check
exceptions for 64-bit architectures is now available.
Description
The mcelog package contains a daemon that collects and decodes Machine
Check Exception data on 64-bit machines.
The 64-bit architecture raises machine check exceptions whenever certain
hardware problems occur. These exceptions log data in registers, which
mcelog checks via a cron job, parses, and emails to the root user.
Users who wish to view machine check exception data should install this new
package, which adds this ability.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
