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

3.1 Centralized monitoring using JP1 events

The JP1/IM Central Console centrally monitors major events occurring in the system, such as network problems and server failures, based on JP1 events.

This section describes the following functions used to perform centralized monitoring:

• Monitoring from the Central Console
• Filtering of JP1 events
• Issue of correlation events
• Consolidated display of repeated events
• Searching for events
• Event guide function
• Setting memo entries
• Display of user-defined event attributes
• CSV output of information displayed in JP1/IM - View
• System operations from JP1/IM

When you use the integrated monitoring database, expanded functionality is available for centralized monitoring, as described in the following table.

Table 3-1 Expanded functionality when using the integrated monitoring database

Item	Expanded functionality
Monitoring from the Central Console	You can specify the event display start time and change the event severity level.
JP1 event filtering	You can display more items in the view filter and event receiver filter.
Searching for events	You can specify either the event database or integrated monitoring database as the database to search.
Setting memo entries	You can add memos to JP1 events registered in the integrated monitoring database.
CSV output of information displayed in JP1/IM - View	You can output the JP1 event information saved to the integrated monitoring database in CSV form.

The following figure shows the window for monitoring JP1 events.

Figure 3-1 JP1 event monitoring in the Event Console window

The Event Console window shows a list of JP1 events. JP1 events are managed by JP1/Base, and can be optimally viewed using the various functions provided by JP1/IM.

In the above Event Console window, the area for event display start-time specification is displayed. This area appears only when you use the integrated monitoring database.

Display in the Event Console window

JP1/IM attaches an icon to each event to indicate its level of severity (one of the attributes of JP1 events). This enables visual identification when the user views an event listing.

The event levels of JP1 events are Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Notice, Information, and Debug.
