FlashSystem 5000 Node RAM ECC errors are not reported in the event log

    I don't understand why such important kernel errors from the message log are not passed to the event log!
    The customer only notices the problem when the node reboots.

    kernel: EDAC MC0: 3 CE memory read error on CPU_SrcID#0_Ha#0_Chan#0_DIMM#0 (channel:0 slot:0 page:0x516a89 offset:0xd40 grain:32 syndrome:0x0 - OVERFLOW area:DRAM err_code:0001:0090 socket:0 ha:0 channel_mask:1 rank:0)
    edac_monitor[2525]: Wrote 0x516a89 to /run/edac_monitor/mc/mc0/dimm0/last_ce_page

    something like that should at least be counted and reported after the threshold value has been reached.

    Short answer is that we do log an event when the threshold is reached.  However, the threshold is now 100,000 in 24 hours so you are unlikely to hit it.
