Platform Event Alert Destinations
Use this window to select a destination where an alert for a platform event is to be sent. Depending on the number of destinations that display on your system, you can configure a separate IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) for each destination address. A platform event alert is sent to each destination IP address that you configure.
Your system displays a number of destinations. Click the number of the destination you want to configure.
NOTE: The number of destinations that you can configure on a given system may vary.

Destination Number
When you click a destination number, a separate screen opens, allowing you to enter an individual IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) for that destination. This is the IP address to which the platform event alert is sent.
NOTE: Due to the limitations of VMware ESXi, the Setting Alert Actions feature is not available with this release of Server Administrator.
|
NOTE: You can set the trap destination as valid IPv4 or IPv6 address. Your system must support IPv6 to configure the IPv6 addresses. On yx2x PowerEdge systems with iDRAC7 specific versions, you can set first four destination as IPv4 address and next four as IPv6 address. For iDRAC7 version details, see
Server Administrator Release Notes.

State
You can set the State to either of two settings: Enabled, in which case the platform event alert is sent to the Destination Number you entered; or Disabled, in which case an alert is not sent.
Destination IP Address
This field displays the information, if any, that is entered for each destination using the Set Platform Event Alert Destination window.
Destination Configuration Settings
Enter a value in the Community String field to act as a password to authenticate messages sent between a management station and a managed system. The community string (also called the community name) is sent in every packet between the management station and a managed system.
