4.2.4 Settings for event acquisition filters

This subsection explains how to set only one event acquisition filter, how to set an event acquisition filter by switching the filter conditions, and how to set an event acquisition filter (for compatibility).

Event acquisition filters are set whether or not the integrated monitoring database is used. Therefore, if you set an event acquisition filter (for compatibility), it is used even when the integrated monitoring database is used.

The event acquisition filters set here, except for the event acquisition filter (for compatibility), limit the JP1 events that are distributed to all services of JP1/IM - Manager.

Organization of this subsection

(1) Setting only one event acquisition filter

(2) Setting an event acquisition filter by switching the filter conditions

(3) Setting an event acquisition filter (for compatibility)

(4) Setting common exclusion conditions

(1) Setting only one event acquisition filter

This subsection explains how to set only one filter condition that is to be applied when JP1/IM - Manager acquires events from the JP1/Base event database. This method is not applicable when an event acquisition filter (for compatibility) is used. In order to start the System Environment Settings window, you need JP1_Console_Admin permissions.

To set only one event acquisition filter:

Select a JP1 event from the events list to use its attribute value as the condition.

In the Event Console window, choose Options, and then System Environment Settings.
The System Environment Settings window appears.

In A filter is being applied, click the Configure button.
The Event Acquisition Settings window appears.
To edit an existing event acquisition filter, select the desired event acquisition filter from the drop-down list in Event acquisition conditions, and then click the Configure button. Details of the selected event acquisition filter are displayed in the Event Acquisition Settings window to enable you to edit the settings.

In the Event Acquisition Settings window, specify the filter settings.
In the Event Acquisition Settings window, you can specify the following settings:

Filter name and filter ID
If you are creating a new event acquisition filter, specify a name for the filter. The smallest filter ID that is available in the list of event acquisition conditions is automatically assigned to the filter.
To edit an event acquisition filter, the name and ID of the event acquisition filter to be edited are displayed. You can edit the filter name and filter ID. Note that simply changing the filter name or filter ID does not result in creation of a new event acquisition filter. An existing filter name or filter ID cannot be specified.

Condition group
Specify a name for a group of conditions in order to distinguish sets of pass conditions or exclusion conditions. Note that the same name cannot be assigned to a pass-conditions group and an exclusion-conditions group.
You can set a maximum of 30 pass-conditions groups and 30 exclusion-conditions groups; the relationship between condition groups is the OR condition.
To set condition groups, you must click the Show List button to keep List displayed.

To rename a condition group: Select a condition group to display its name in Condition group name. Edit this name and move the focus to rename the condition group.

To set conditions (detailed settings for a condition group)
Specify pass conditions or exclusion conditions for the filter.
You can combine multiple conditions, in which case the relationship between conditions is the AND condition.
The items that you can specify include source host, event level (or JP1/SES event), object type, object name, root object type, root object name, occurrence, user name, message, product name, action, and event ID.
To apply the attribute value of the JP1 event selected from the Event Console window to the conditions list, click the Read From Selected Event button.
