Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Overview and System Design Guide

1.3.1 Integrated management using JP1 events

JP1/IM - Manager centrally manages the various events that occur in the system as JP1 events. Events generated by JP1/Base, which provides the core functionality for integrated management, are managed by the agent hosts in the system as JP1 events. The agents forward JP1 events to JP1/IM - Manager for centralized management as needed.

Alternatively, JP1 events accumulated at an agent can be acquired by JP1/IM - Manager and managed at the JP1/IM - Manager side.

Figure 1-6 Integrated management using JP1 events

Implementing integrated management by simply collecting all JP1 events would result in a deluge of events across the system. Severe events could easily be overlooked, making operations management more difficult. Too many events would also place a greater load on the monitoring system. Using event filtering, JP1/IM - Manager selects only those events relevant to operations management, allowing JP1 events to be managed appropriately. The filtering feature gives you various choices: You can select which events to send to JP1/IM - Manager, and which to treat as severe events.

In addition, JP1/IM - Manager can manage the following events:

Various events converted by the JP1/Base event converter. These include messages in log files, entries in the Windows event log, and SNMP traps managed by HP NNM version 7.5 or earlier. JP1/IM - Manager can also manage events issued by a user application calling a command or the API.

NNMi incidents converted into JP1 events by JP1/IM - EG for NNMi. For details about NNMi incidents, see the manual Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Event Gateway for Network Node Manager i Description, User's Guide and Reference.

Events handled by a wide variety of non-JP1 products and converted into JP1 events.
