2.3 List of functions

The following figure shows the functions of component programs used for system operation monitoring by JP1/IM - Manager.

Figure 2‒8: Functions provided by the component products

JP1/IM - Manager is linked with the prerequisite product JP1/Base, and operates using the core functionality provided by JP1/Base. JP1/Base also runs on the agents in the JP1/IM - Manager system. JP1/IM - Manager thus has an inseparable relationship with JP1/Base.

The functions in the figure above are summarized below.

	Event conversion	Extracts information from log files and converts it into JP1 events (log file trapping) Extracts information from the Windows event log and converts it into JP1 events (event log trap conversion) Extracts information from SNMP traps managed by HP NNM version 7.5 or earlier and converts it into JP1 events (SNMP trap conversion).	JP1/Base
	Display of user-defined event attributes	Issues JP1 events from a user application by calling a JP1/Base function.	JP1/Base
	Event guide function	Displays information about pre-registered response methods and procedures.	Central console viewer
	CSV output of information displayed in JP1/IM - View	Outputs JP1 event information displayed in JP1/IM - View in CSV form.

	Management of virtualization configuration information	Manages the hierarchical structure of the system, including virtual hosts.
	Business group management	Monitors multiple monitored hosts by creating a group based on the system used for a particular business operation, or based on which monitored objects are managed by a particular system administrator.
	Profile management	Enables you to centrally manage, from the manager, the JP1/Base profiles running on each host or the profiles on the remotely monitored hosts.
	Management of service activity information	Checks whether JP1/IM - Manager and JP1/Base services are active on each host.
	Import/export of IM Configuration Management information	Exports and imports IM Configuration Management information.
Core functionality	Process management	Manages JP1/IM - Manager and its functions.	Process management
