Event Filter Builder window: Sender Name page
Identifies the source from which the event was forwarded by its IP address or host name. Because most events are generated
by IBM® Systems
Director Server, this field
usually contains the IP address or host name of the management
server.
Because
IBM Systems
Director Server keeps
track of all systems from which it has received an event, a list of known
sender names
(IP addresses or host names) is provided.
The list is dynamic. Initially, only the management server is displayed in
the list. At the time of installation, the management server is the only system
that has registered an event. As other systems generate events, this list
grows. You can enter other
IP addresses or host names as
needed. Specifying or selecting sender names can be useful for identifying
the following items:
- The source of SNMP traps
- Systems from which events originate using criteria specified in the genevent
utility
- Systems configured with hardware acquired from another
vendor that generate and forward events
Actions
- Add
- Adds your system IP address or host name selection
or entry to the list in the selections pane. You can add multiple entries
to the list.
Note: IPv4 addresses are accepted.
- Delete
- Deletes an entry from the list of entries in the selections pane.
