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 displays on your system, you can configure a separate IP address 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. |
When you click a destination number, a separate window opens, allowing you to enter an individual IP address for that destination. This IP address is the IP address to which the platform event alert is sent.
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.
This field displays the information, if any, that is entered for each destination using the Set Platform Event Alert Destination window.
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.
