4.1.3 Verifying that the correlation event is generated

After you have finished specifying the correlation event conditions, verify that the correlation event is generated according to your specifications. The following describes how to generate a correlated event and then check the icon displayed for Type.

Prerequisites

Type must be set as an item displayed in the event list in the Preferences window, which is displayed by selecting Main Menu, Options, and then Preferences.

Procedure

1. Execute the following jevsend command on host A to issue an error event:

   • In Windows:

     "Base-path\bin\jevsend" -e SEVERITY=Error

   • In Linux:

     /opt/jp1base/bin/jevsend -e SEVERITY=Error

   In a similar way, execute the jevsend command on hosts B and 1 to issue error events.

   If error events are issued on hosts A, B, and 1 within 60 seconds, a correlation event is generated, and then either of the following icons appears in the Type column of the event list.

   Type	Description
   	This correlation event is generated if a correlation event generation condition exists.

2. Execute the following jevsend command on host A to issue an error event, and then wait 60 seconds.

   Because an error event is not issued on any host other than host A within 60 seconds, a correlation event is generated, and then either of the following icons appears in the Type column of the event list.

   Type	Description
   	This correlation event is generated if a correlation event generation condition does not exist.
