+## Which member raised an event
+
+Events the group forwards from its members (`ConnectionFailed`, `ConnectionRestored`, `ErrorMessage`, `ServerMaintenanceEvent`,
+`HashSlotMoved`, and so on) arrive with the member's own connection as `sender`, not the group. To say which member an event
+came from, use `FindMember`, or ask a specific member with `IsSenderOf`:
+
+```csharp
+conn.ConnectionFailed += (sender, args) =>
+{
+    var member = conn.FindMember(sender); // null if the sender is not (or is no longer) a member
+    Console.WriteLine($"{member?.Name ?? "(unknown)"}: {args.FailureType}");
+
+    if (conn.ActiveMember?.IsSenderOf(sender) == true)
+    {
+        Console.WriteLine("...and that is the member currently in use");
+    }
+};
+```
+
+Bear in mind that the active member can change at any time, including just after this check.

 Configurable health checking monitors the health of all endpoints and automatically routes traffic away from unhealthy instances.
