Anyone who uses ECC DIMMs definitely MUST monitor what the memory controllers report to make optimal use of it.

However, you can also set a policy what the Linux kernel will/should do on its own when an ECC error condition has been detected: The `edac_core` module has options such as `edac_mc_panic_on_ue`, which, if set, will trigger a kernel panic upon detecting an Uncorrectable Error in system memory. Depending on your use case, this can be better or worse than just logging it.
