2.5.2 Verifying that Windows event log data can be converted to events

After you have edited an event log trap action-definition file, verify that the event log trap is running normally. For details about editing the file, see 2.5.1(2) Using IM Configuration Management to edit the event log trap action-definition file on the host to be monitored. This subsection describes how to verify that Windows event log data issued on host 1 was converted to a JP1 event.

Prerequisites

The following conditions must be satisfied:

• The JP1/Base EventlogTrap service is running on the host to be monitored.

• Setting of the event log trap has been completed according to 2.5.1(2) Using IM Configuration Management to edit the event log trap action-definition file on the host to be monitored.

Procedure

1. On the agent (host1) on which the event log trap is running, issue Windows event log data that satisfies the following conditions:

   • Log Name is Application.

   • Level is Error.

   Only information output to Windows event logs after the JP1/Base EventlogTrap started on the host to be monitored can be converted.

2. Verify that the Windows event log data you issued in step 1 is displayed in the event list.
