Hardware Log Sensor Messages

The hardware logs provide hardware status messages to systems management software. On certain systems, the hardware log is implemented as a circular queue. When the log becomes full, the oldest status messages are overwritten when new status messages are logged. On some systems, the log is not circular. On these systems, when the log becomes full, subsequent hardware status messages are lost. Hardware log sensor messages listed provides status and warning information about the noncircular logs that may fill up, resulting in lost status messages.
