First create an instance of Rest or Redfish Object using the **RestObject** or
**RedfishObject** class respectively. The class constructor takes iLO hostname/
ip address formatted as a string ("https://xx.xx.xx.xx"), iLO login username
and password as arguments. The class also initializes a login session, gets
systems resources and message registries.

Rest Object creation:

.. code-block:: python

 REST_OBJ = RestObject(iLO_https_host, login_account, login_password)

Redfish Object creation:

.. code-block:: python

 REDFISH_OBJ = RedfishObject(iLO_https_host, login_account, login_password)

Example 25: Clear iLO Event Log
===============================

The method **ex25_clear_ilo_event_log** takes an instance of rest object (or
redfish object if using Redfish API) as argument.

.. code-block:: python

 def ex25_clear_ilo_event_log(restobj):

Find and get the system resource for log service.

.. code-block:: python

 instances = restobj.search_for_type("LogService.")

Prepare request body to clear log.

.. code-block:: python

 for instance in instances:
     if instance["href"].endswith("IEL"):
         body = {"Action": "ClearLog"}

Perform POST request to clear the log.

.. code-block:: python

 response = restobj.rest_post(instance["href"], body)
 restobj.error_handler(response)
