We need to clear the ESM logs regularly before it reaches 100%. However please follow the below command and procedure before clearing the logs.



  • Open Dell Manage console, go to logs tab.
  • Then select ESM logs, you will see an export option.
  • Export the logs and save it on local drive for future use.
  • Now open command prompt and Runas administrator.
  • Type omconfig system esmlog action=clear
  • Done, your logs are cleared. Come back to Dell open manage console.
  • Now hardware logs will show green which is normal.
