2.1 Overview of functions for issuing and acquiring events
- Issuing JP1 events
-
JP1/IM enables you to monitor events by converting application-specific log files, SNMP traps, and the Windows event log to JP1 events. However, you cannot use JP1/IM to define application-specific event attributes and other information in detail.
You can use the JP1 event issuing function of JP1/Base to issue user-defined events that include user-defined event attributes directly from user applications.
These user-defined events that include user-defined event attributes (specific information in extended attributes) can then be displayed in the Event Details window by using JP1/IM to create definition files.
The following figure provides an overview of issuing a JP1 (user-defined) event to display the user-defined event attributes.

- Acquiring JP1 events
-
JP1/Base allows you to register and manage a wide variety of events issued by a system as JP1 events in the event database. However, user applications cannot directly use these JP1 events.
By using the JP1 event acquisition functions, user applications are able to acquire and use JP1 events directly from the JP1/Base event database.
The following figure shows an overview of JP1 event acquisition.
