5.1.6 Displaying consolidated events and repeated events

When you use the consolidated display of repeated events function, you can consolidate JP1 events that have the same content and occur consecutively over a short time period, and you can display them on the Monitor Events page or Severe Events page in the Event Console window.

To determine whether JP1 events have the same content, use their severity levels as a guide. Use the severity levels that have been changed via the event severity changing function, and not the ones before the changes are made.

You can display the consolidated repeated events in the Related Events (Summary) window, which is displayed from the Monitor Events page or Severe Events page of the Event Console window.

When the consolidated display of repeated events function is used, an event that consolidates JP1 events having the same content into a single event is called a consolidated event. There are two types of consolidated events: an event for which consolidation is continuing (event being consolidated) and an event that has been consolidated (consolidation completion event).

Of the JP1 events that have the same content, the first JP1 event received by JP1/IM - View is called the consolidation start event. JP1 events that are received thereafter, and that have the same content as the consolidation start event, are called repeated events. An event for which no consolidation occurs because there are no repeated events is called a non-consolidation event.

Set up the consolidated display of repeated events function in the Preferences window. For details about the setup method, see 4.10 Setting JP1/IM - View for each login user in the Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Configuration Guide.

(1) Displaying consolidated events and repeated events

This subsection explains how to use the consolidated display of repeated events function to display consolidated events, non-consolidation events, and repeated events.

Displaying consolidated events and non-consolidation events:

You can display consolidated events and non-consolidation events on the Monitor Events page or Severe Events page of the Event Console window.

Furthermore, as is the case when you are not using the consolidated display of repeated events function, you can open the Event Details window from the Event Console window and display detailed attribute information of consolidated events and non-consolidation events. The Event Details window opens when you select an event in the Event Console window and choose Event Details from the View menu. In the integrated monitoring database, even when consolidated display of repeated events is enabled, you cannot apply consolidated display if you specify a display start position.

Displaying repeated events:

You can display individual repeated events in the Related Events (Summary) window. Individual events are not displayed on the Monitor Events page or Severe Events page of the Event Console window.

To open the Related Events (Summary) window, from the Event Console window, select a consolidated event, and then choose the View menu and Display Related Event List.

In the Related Events (Summary) window, you can change the response status as on the Monitor Events page of the Event Console window. You can also display detailed attribute information of repeated events in the Event Details window. To open the Event Details window, select an event in the Related Events (Summary) window and choose Event Details from the popup menu that opens when you right-click the mouse.

To change a response status, you need JP1_Console_Admin permissions or JP1_Console_Operator permissions.

In the following cases, you cannot select a menu item:

Multiple events have been selected on the Monitor Events page or Severe Events page.

A non-consolidation event has been selected.

The following table shows which events are displayed in each window.

(2) How to view the consolidated display

When the consolidated display of repeated events function is enabled, the Monitor Events page and the Severe Events page of the Event Console window show the following consolidated display:

Figure 5-2 Consolidated display of repeated events example

The consolidated display of repeated events displays the following items.

Summary Status

Summary Status shows the repetition count. The repetition count indicates the total number of consolidated events and repeated events. Nothing is displayed in the case of non-consolidation events.

For consolidation completion events
A repetition count is displayed. The repetition count to be displayed is from 1 to 100.

For events being consolidated
A repetition count and the + symbol, indicating consolidation in progress, are displayed.
A value from 1+ to 99+ is displayed. For example, when the repetition count is 1 (only a consolidation start event), 1+ is displayed. When the repetition count is 2 (a consolidation start event and 1 repeated event), 2+ is displayed. On the Severe Events page, if the consolidation start event has already been deleted and there are no repeated events, 0+ is displayed.

When you open the Related Events (Summary) window or delete consolidated events, the following is displayed:

When the consolidation start event is deleted

If you delete the consolidation start event on the Severe Events page of the Event Console window, that event is considered deleted, and Del is displayed to the right of the repetition count.

Subsequently, when event consolidation is completed and events become deleted non-consolidation events, they are no longer displayed on the Severe Events page of the Event Console window.

When repeated events are deleted

If you delete repeated events from Related Events in the Related Events (Summary) window, the repetition count for consolidated events is reduced by the number of repeated events deleted.

When the repetition count for consolidation completion events reaches 1 because of deletion of repeated events, the remaining event becomes a non-consolidation event. Furthermore, if that non-consolidation event is already deleted, it is no longer displayed on the Severe Events page of the Event Console window.

Response status display:

A response status icon indicating the response status of a JP1 event is displayed in the far-left column.

The response status icon types and contents are the same as those displayed on the Monitor Events page and Severe Events page of the Event Console window.

If the response status of a consolidated event is different from the response status of repeated events, ! is displayed in the response status display.

Action

When the function for suppressing automated actions is being used, an icon indicating the action suppression status is displayed in the Event Console window.

If the action suppression status of a consolidated event is different from the response status of repeated events, ! is displayed in the action display.

(3) Changing the response status

You can change the response status of consolidated events and repeated events in the same way as when you are not using the consolidated display of repeated events function.

When the response status of consolidated events is changed:

If you change the response status of consolidated events on the Monitor Events page or Severe Events page of the Event Console window, the response status of all repeated events that have been received up to that point is also changed to the same response status.

The response status is not changed for repeated events that are received after you change the response status. As a result, those repeated events have a different response status, and ! is displayed in the response status display.

When the response status of repeated events is changed:

If you change the response status of repeated events in the Related Events (Summary) window, the response status is not changed for consolidated events that represent the consolidation of repeated events. However, because consolidated events contain repeated events whose response status is different, ! is displayed in the response status display.
