Event Action Editor window: Send a Tivoli Enterprise Console event

If IBM® Systems Director Server receives an event, you can forward that event to a specified Tivoli Enterprise Console® event server.

Fields

Server location
Specifies the IP address or host name of the Tivoli Enterprise Console event server.
Server port
Specifies the destination port for the Tivoli Enterprise Console event server. If you do not enter an explicit port number, you can leave this field blank and use the portmapper to find a service on the specified host. The default value is 5529.
Event caching
Specifies whether event caching is enabled or disabled. Event caching is used when events cannot be forwarded to the specified destinations. Enabling event caching causes these events to be saved in a file until they can be delivered successfully. When event caching is disabled, events that cannot be delivered to the specified destinations are discarded.
Configuration parameters
Optional: Enter keyword/value pairs to control the handling of events. This action uses the Tivoli® Event Integration Facility (EIF) for the delivery of events to the Tivoli Enterprise Console event server. See your Tivoli Enterprise Console adapter documentation for more information.
The following configuration parameters are supported:
  • BufEvtMaxSize
  • BufEvtPath
  • BufEvtShrinkSize
