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 the VMware® ESXi operating system, the Setting Alert Actions feature is not available with this release of OpenManage Server Administrator.
NOTE: The first four destination number hyperlinks allow you to configure only IPv4 addresses, while the rest can be used to configure IPv6 addresses. Your system should support IPv6 to be able to configure the IPv6 addresses.
