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:
- Deselect Any to enable the Add button.
- Enter the name of a managed system.
- Select Add to add the name to the selections pane.
- 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.
