5.3.3 Generating a monitoring tree automatically

You can generate a monitoring tree automatically.

To link other products and generate a monitoring tree automatically, you must have set up the linked products beforehand (such as making the settings for issuing JP1 events and executing adapter commands). See 5.8 Setting up for linked products and complete the setup before you perform automatic monitoring tree generation.

If you have deleted the jp1admin user for some operational reason, a JP1 user who has the appropriate permissions for accessing the definition information of linked products must log in and perform the automatic generation operation.

For details about the monitoring tree automatic generation function, see the following:

About monitoring tree automatic generation:

• About the monitoring tree automatic generation function

  See 4.2 Monitoring tree in the Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Overview and System Design Guide.

  See 4.3 Automatically generating a monitoring tree in the Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Overview and System Design Guide.

• About the monitoring tree model that is generated automatically

  See 5. Monitoring Tree Models (for Central Scope) in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Command and Definition File Reference.

The following figure shows the procedure for generating a monitoring tree automatically.

Figure 5‒3: Procedure for generating a monitoring tree automatically

To generate a monitoring tree automatically:

1. Choose Auto-generate Tree.

   From the Monitoring Tree (Editing) window, choose Options, and then Auto-generate Tree.

   If a monitoring tree was already being edited, a confirmation message such as Do you want to replace the current tree configuration information? is displayed. If you choose Yes, the current information will be replaced with the automatically generated information.

2. Log in to the server.

   The Login window for logging in to JP1/IM - Manager (JP1/IM - Central Scope) is displayed.

   Log in as the jp1admin user.

   For the host to connect, specify the name of a host on which JP1/IM - Manager to which you log in exists. Specify the host name that is defined in the viewer or the IP address.

3. In the Auto-generation - Select Configuration window, select a monitoring tree model.

   Select the appropriate model for the monitoring tree that is to be generated automatically:

   • Work-oriented tree

   • Server-oriented tree

4. Click the Generate, Show Differences, or Add button.

   • Generate: Generates a new monitoring tree from the collected definition information.

   • Show Differences: Creates differential data from the monitoring tree in the editing window using the collected definition information. The differential data is used to create a monitoring group named NEW_OBJECT.

   • Add: Adds information to the existing monitoring tree in the editing window to create a new monitoring tree. The new monitoring tree is created under a monitoring group named NEW_TREE.

5. The monitoring tree is generated automatically.

   Definition information is collected from each host managed by JP1/IM and the monitoring tree is generated automatically. Wait for this process to be completed.

Initially, the generated monitoring node is in non-monitoring status.

You can customize the automatically generated monitoring tree before you start using it.
