3.4.1 Using additional common exclusion conditions for a filter to prevent display of unnecessary events

To remove unnecessary events from being monitored, you use additional common exclusion conditions for a filter. These conditions can be used only when extended mode is set for common exclusion conditions. To set additional common exclusion conditions, use the Common Exclusion-Condition Settings (Extended) window of the central console. The following explains how to set an additional common exclusion condition to prevent unnecessary events from being displayed in the list during operation.

Prerequisites

The following conditions must be satisfied:

• The JP1 user who wants to set additional common exclusion condition for a filter has JP1_Console_Admin permissions.

• The OS user who will execute the jbssetcnf and jcochcefmode commands has Administrator or root permissions.

Procedure

1. Stop JP1/IM - Manager.

2. Create a definition file for extending regular expressions that can be used for JP1/Base. You can specify any file name.

   Specify as follows in the definition file:

   -----------------------------------------------------

   [JP1_DEFAULT\JP1BASE\]

   "REGEXP"="EXTENDED"

   -----------------------------------------------------

3. Execute the following jbssetcnf command to apply the settings to JP1/Base common definition information:

   • In Windows:

     "Base-path\bin\jbssetcnf" definition-file-name

   • In Linux:

     /opt/jp1base/bin/jbssetcnf definition-file-name

4. Restart JP1/Base.

5. Execute the following jcochcefmode command to change the operating mode for the common exclusion conditions:

   • In Windows:

     "Console-path\bin\jcochcefmode" -m extended

   • In Linux:

     /opt/jp1cons/bin/jcochcefmode -m extended

6. Start JP1/IM - Manager.

7. From the Windows Start menu, select All Programs, JP1_Integrated Management - View, and then Integrated View. The Login window appears.

8. Enter jp1admin for User name, jp1admin for Password, and admin for Host to connect, and then log in. The Event Console window appears.

9. In the Event Console window, verify that an unnecessary event of severity level Information issued on host A is displayed in the event list.

10. In the event list of the Event Console window, select an event that you think is unnecessary. Then, from the View menu, select Exclude by Common Exclusion-Conditions to display the Common Exclusion-Condition Settings (Extended) window.

    Note that this window is not displayed unless the selected event satisfies either of the following conditions:

    • The event is registered in the event database on the agent host.

    • The event is registered in the event database or the integrated monitoring database on the manager to which JP1/IM - View has logged in.

11. Specify the settings as described in the following figure to prevent the unnecessary event from being displayed.

    

12. In the Common Exclusion-Condition Settings (Extended) window, click the OK button.

    A message that asks you whether you want to apply the settings appears.

13. Click the Yes button.

    An event indicating that additional common exclusion conditions have just been set is issued.
