IBM Enterprise Console manual Configuration File, tecadwin.baroc, HostnameIsAdapterHost, English

tecad_win.baroc

The BAROC file.

postemsg.exe The command line interface program to send an event to an event server.

tecad_win.err The error file.

Before starting the event server, check the configuration file to determine if it defines the preferred adapter behavior.

Configuration File

The configuration file defines the behavior of the adapter. This file can contain the common keywords described in “Configuration File” on page 9, as well as the following adapter-specific keywords:

HostnameIsAdapterHost

Specifies whether the hostname attribute for Windows NT Event Log events is set to the host on which the adapter is running (the default) or the host where the event originated.

If set to NO or no, the hostname attribute is set to the

COMPUTER field from the Windows NT Event Log.

Note: This only applies to events from the Windows NT Event Log, not those generated from log files specified in LogSources. Those events always have the hostname attribute set to the host on which the adapter is running.

The COMPUTER name returned from the Windows NT Event Log might not be the same as the ManagedNode name (which is case-sensitive) of the host where the event originated. You must take this into consideration if you run tasks or programs from the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console product or the rule base, because they might use the hostname attribute to determine where they run.

LanguageID Sets the language event log messages to be formatted in English or the native language. Valid values are one of the following:

ENGLISH

Messages are formatted in English.

DEFAULT

The adapter attempts to format event log messages in the default language based on the local value set in Windows. If the adapter cannot use the default language, it uses English. The value DEFAULT can only be used in languages that have 8-bit wide characters.

The format file is in English. The Windows event logs are in your native language. If your native language is not English, you must rewrite the format file in your native language.

LogSources Specifies the ASCII log files to poll for messages. The complete path to each file must be specified, and file names must be separated by commas; no spaces or other separators can be used. A log file source need not exist when the adapter is started; it will be polled when it is created.
