3.8.1 Overview of mapping

Mapping of event source hosts is provided by the event base service. The following shows the relationship between the processing of main functions and event-source-host mapping.

Figure 3‒79: Relationship between the processing of main functions and event-source-host mapping

After JP1 events are acquired from the JP1/Base event service, host information is mapped with JP1 event extended attribute Event source host name (E.JP1_SOURCEHOST). The JP1 events to be mapped are the events issued from JP1 products. For the JP1 events for which log file trapping is set in JP1/Base, however, individual settings are required. If you also map events for log file trapping or events of a product other than JP1 products, use the event-source-host mapping definition file to define information about JP1 event attributes and attributes to be mapped. For details about the event-source-host mapping definition file, see Event-source-host mapping definition file (user_hostmap.conf) in 2. Definition Files in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Command and Definition File Reference.

If an acquired event does not match any of the conditions in the event-source-host mapping definition file, the value of Source host (B.SOURCESERVER) is mapped. If a value has already been set for the extended attribute for acquired JP1 event Event source host name (E.JP1_SOURCEHOST), the event source host is not mapped even if the event matches the conditions in the event-source-host mapping definition file.

If overwrite installation is performed for JP1/IM - Manager, the definitions set in the event-source-host mapping definition file are inherited. Also, the setting as to whether to enable or disable the mapping function of the event source hosts is inherited.
