Job Management Partner 1/Asset Information Manager Administrator's Guide
By using the Operation Log Total job menu, you can check the status for each group based on operation log totals. You can check how often an operation such as copying of files to external media has occurred or how the number of detected operation logs has changed over time.
By default, only an administrator can total operation logs.
You check operation log totals from the Operation Log Total window, which you display by clicking the Operation Log Total job menu. The following figure shows the Operation Log Total window.
Figure 2-85 Operation Log Total window
To insure that you acquire correct totals, make sure that operation logs have been accurately collected from the managed clients.
Before you can check the totals from the Operation Log Total window, you must execute the jamOperationLogAddUp command to collect operation logs. For details about how to execute the jamOperationLogAddUp command, see (5) Executing the jamOperationLogAddUp command (operation log totaling).
You can check operation log totals by specifying the desired search conditions and clicking the Search button. For Search period, specify the period over which you want to check totals. Specify a search period of one year or less. You must always specify a start date for Search period. If you do not specify an end date for Search period, the date the search is performed is assumed to be the search period end date.
How to interpret the search results
If you change the group information or IP group information after you total the operation logs, the information you changed is not updated in the totals.
By selecting a radio button under Search pattern in the search results of the Operation Log Total window, and then clicking the Show or Show Total button, you can display totals for the group specified in the search conditions. If you click the Show button, the totals for the specified group are displayed. If you click the Show Total button, the totals for its subgroups are also displayed.
The following figure shows the window that displays a breakdown by group.

Totaled results for managed devices whose asset information is not in the asset management database are displayed as Unknown devices.
You can check the operation logs for a particular date in the Operation Log Total - Logs List dialog box, which you display by clicking a date link in the window that displays a breakdown by group.
The following figure shows the Operation Log Total - Logs List dialog box.

You can check details about the operation logs for each device in the Operation Log Details dialog box, which you display by clicking an link under Date/time. For details about how to check operation log details, see 2.7.1(3) Checking operation log details for each device.
You can check details about a device by clicking a link under Host name. For details about how to check details for devices, see 2.7.1(4) Checking the asset information of a device.
You can trace user operations from the File Operation Trace dialog box, which you display by clicking a link under File name. For details about how to trace user operations, see 2.7.3 Tracing user operations.
In the window that displays a breakdown by group, select the check boxes of the groups for which you want to display totals in graph format, and then click the Graph button to display the Operation Log Total - Changes window. In the Operation Log Total - Changes window, you can see in graph format the change in the number of the applicable operation logs. You can select up to 255 groups to graph in this manner.
To display the operation log totals as a graph, you must install the Microsoft Office Web component on the PC on which the graph is to be displayed. Either install the Microsoft Office Web component from the Microsoft Office 2003 (or earlier) media, or download it from Microsoft's website.
The following figure shows the Operation Log Total - Changes window.
