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
