B.2 Verifying that you can monitor the extent of impact of events in map format and tree format

After you have finished configuring the central scope, use the procedure below to check whether you are able to monitor events in both map format and tree format, in a manner consistent with the system configuration. The following describes how to issue events on host A shown in 1.2.1 Overview of a basic configuration system.

Prerequisites

OS user mapping must be completed according to the procedure in 2.2.1 Using the user mapping feature to map a JP1 user account to an OS user account.

Procedure

1. In the Event Console window, click the Execute Command button. The Execute Command window appears.

2. Follow the procedure in 2.2.2 Verifying that you can execute a command to set the items in the Execute Command window as described below, and then click the Execute button.

   Item	Setting
   Command type	Select Command of managed host.
   Event information to inherit	Clear the Inherit event information check box.
   Target host	Enter the following: hostA
   Command	Enter the following: In Windows: "Base-path\bin\jevsend" -e SEVERITY=Warning -m Warning Event Issued In Linux: /opt/jp1base/bin/jevsend -e SEVERITY=Warning -m Warning Event Issued

   An event of severity level Warning is issued on host A.

3. Check the Monitoring Tree window and Visual Monitoring window.

   Among the monitoring nodes, the status of the monitoring node on which the error occurred, and the monitoring group that includes that monitoring node, automatically change to the error status.

   

   For this example, verify that host A and the monitoring group that includes host A change to yellow when an event of severity level Warning is issued.

4. Repeat step 2. Set the items in the Execute Command window as described below, and then click the Execute button.

   Item	Setting
   Command type	Select Command of managed host.
   Event information to inherit	Clear the Inherit event information check box.
   Target host	Enter the following: hostA
   Command	Enter the following: In Windows: "Base-path\bin\jevsend" -e SEVERITY=Error -m Error Event Issued In Linux: /opt/jp1base/bin/jevsend -e SEVERITY=Error -m Error Event Issued

   An event of severity level Error is issued on host A.

5. Check the Monitoring Tree window and Visual Monitoring window.

   For this example, verify that the status of host A or the monitoring group that includes host A does not change when an event of severity level Error is issued.
