5.8 Setting up for linked products
This section describes the setup for products that can be linked to Central Scope.
To simplify the linkage with each product, Central Scope provides functions for automatic generation of monitoring trees and of system-monitoring objects (for which the basic definition required for monitoring is predefined).
If you will use such system-monitoring objects to monitor specific products and will generate monitoring trees automatically, you should use the procedure explained in this section to set up the linked products.
This section assumes that the linked products have already been installed.
Overview of the setup for linking to a product
The following provides an overview of the setup procedure for linking to a specific product.
-
Defining a system hierarchy (IM configuration)
If you use IM Configuration Management, use IM Configuration Management - View to register the host that executes the linked product as a JP1/IM monitoring target.
If you do not use IM Configuration Management, execute the command to register the host that executes the linked product as a JP1/IM monitoring target.
-
Enabling JP1 event issuance on the linked product (setting the linked product)
Because JP1/IM uses JP1 events to monitor systems, set each linked product to issue JP1 events.
-
Setting SNMP trap conversion (setting JP1/Base)
When the product to be linked is JP1/Cm2/SSO version 8 or earlier, or HP NNM version 8 or earlier, SNMP traps are issued instead of JP1 events. In the case of such a product, you must set JP1/Base to convert the SNMP traps to JP1 events.
-
Setting up the linkage program (setting the linked product)
If the linked product supports automatic generation of a monitoring tree, set up the function that collects definition information during automatic generation (linkage program) on the linked product.
