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:

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

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.
