Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer programs encoded on computer storage medium, for identifying, during a particular boot of an information handling system, basic input/output system (BIOS)-level events, each BIOS-level event associated with a different BIOS log event source; for each BIOS-level event: creating, by a respective driver computing module associated with the BIOS-level event, event data for the BIOS-level event; calling, by the respective driver computing module associated with the BIOS-level event, a dispatcher protocol to provide the event data associated with the respective driver computing module to a dispatcher computing module; placing, by the dispatcher computing module, each of the event data in a temporary data store, wherein each of the event data is unaltered; and creating, by the dispatcher computing module, a database log of the event data, including aggregating each of the event data to generate a sequence of events related to the particular boot of the IHS.
