The Sentinel Link Event Source Server simplifies Event Source configuration with the option
to detect a new source device that is sending data to the Sentinel Link Event Source Server,
evaluate its IP address by using a set of user-defined policies, and either ignore the new source
device or automatically add it as an Event Source in Event Source Management.
5
Click Add if you want to create a new policy.
6 Double-click the Source field and enter a source IP address or a range of IP addresses in one of
the following formats:
 Specific IP address (such as 10.0.0.1)

IP address range (such as 10.0.0.1-10.0.0.25)

IP address with mask (like 10.0.0.1/16)
7 Select an action to associate with the IP address or range of IP addresses:

The Allow and Start action creates and starts Event Source node in the ESM view.

The Allow action auto-creates the Event Source node in the ESM view but does not auto-
start the Event Source.
After the new Event Source node is created, an administrator can review and start it at any
time.
 The Deny action prevents the auto-creation of an Event Source.
8 Select Active to activate the policy.
If there are multiple policies, reorder the order in which they are evaluated by using the Up and
Down buttons.
