Creates an instance of an event dispatcher sink entity.
create [node node-id] event dispatcher -
sink sink-name [maximum buffer size integer]
A sink manages incoming connections and filters incoming events.
Each sink maintains a filter that is applied to all streams that
are assigned to that sink. Sink-name is a simplename that
identifies this particular event dispatcher sink instance.
Maximum buffer size is an optional argument.
Example:
create event dispatcher sink local_sink
1 – maximum_buffer_size
Maximum buffer size is an optional argument that specifies the
maximum number of octets to be used for event processing of this
sink. The current value is displayed in the buffer size status
attribute. You can specify a size smaller than the
implementation's default, provided it is still sufficient to hold
the events lost event. If the value specified is inadequate for
the events lost event, an "insufficient resources" exception is
returned. It is recommended that you use the default buffer size,
which is 16384.
Example:
create event dispatcher sink local_sink -
maximum buffer size 16384

process is probably not running. For instructions on restarting
the process, refer to HELP NETWORK_MANAGEMENT EVENT_DISPATCHER.
