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.
