Configure messages information for managed nodes

In some environments, a node can be known by several names in addition to the primary node name. The Message Identification tab of the Properties dialog box displays any other names (aliases)that apply to the selected node.

To create an alias for a node

1. From the Message Identification tab, click Add to open the Add New Alias dialog box.
2. In the New Alias box, enter any other names for the node that apply to it. This allows messages to be generated using any of these names. Any aliases are listed in the Other names for node in browser messages: group box.

   If a node has multiple IP addresses, the IP addresses can also be entered in the New Alias box. This information is optional.

3. To remove an alias, select it from the list and click Remove
4. Click Apply to apply your changes without closing this dialog box.
5. Click OK to confirm your choices and close this dialog box.
