So id you havent changed anything before the last reboot ( compiled a new kernel? ) then the message says it all
Code:
 WARNING: The BMC System Event Log (SEL) is full.
          Use MP SL command to clear space so SEL events can be recorded.

I never had to configure a RP3440 so I dont remember what its using (GSP or MP) The closest I got is a
Code:
ant:/home/vbe $ model
9000/800/L2000-54

having a gsp...
But both (gsp or mp) should work the same way, you may need to do some search...
On the console I used to type ctrl-B and I get to the gsp console which would display something like Service Processor Login: Since I never configured them I'd press <enter> and you get the GSP prompt: GDP > type h for help...
SL is for show log - I dont remember how you remove them ( Years since last time I went there...) maybe just looking at them sufiice... So look carefullly at the menu and the help...
Then you would type co to return to the OS console.. Its my supprt dispatch week so sorry cant spend more time with you... will try to follow though and if I have a moment...
Good Luck!

I have already cleared the logs. But still I am getting the same error. And after sometime the logs again gets filled and I am back to the start again.
