Event Filter Builder window: Sender Name page

This topic describes the Event Filter Builder window: Sender Name page in IBM Director.

Explanation

Identifies the source from which the event was forwarded. Because most events are generated by the IBM Director Server, this field usually contains the system name of the IBM Director Server.
Because the IBM Director event server keeps track of all systems from which it has received an event, a list of known sender names is provided. Other names can also be entered as needed. Specifying or selecting sender names can be useful for identifying the following:
  • The source of SNMP traps
  • Managed systems from which events originate using criteria specified in the genevent utility
  • Managed systems configured with third party event adapters that generate and forward events
To enter a name, follow these steps:
  1. Deselect Any to enable the Add button.
  2. Enter the name of a managed system.
  3. Select Add to add the name to the selections pane.
  4. Repeat this procedure for each system name you want to specify.
Add
Adds your system name selection or entry to the list in the selections pane. You can add multiple entries to the list.
Delete
Deletes an entry from the list of entries in the selections pane. To delete an entry, select the entry, and then click this button.
