5.1.8 Displaying consolidated events when events with the same attributes occur consecutively
When you consolidate the display of repeated events, JP1 events that have the same content and occur consecutively over a short period of time can be displayed as a single event on the Monitor Events page or Severe Events page of the Event Console window. You can configure the consolidated display of repeated events function in the Preferences window.
For a general description of the consolidated display of repeated events function, see 3.4.10 Suppressing repeated-event display by the consolidated display of repeated events in the Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Overview and System Design Guide.
If you want to consolidate JP1 events that do not occur consecutively, or to specify event conditions or certain criteria under which consolidation should start, use repeated event monitoring suppression instead of the consolidated display of repeated events. For details on repeated event monitoring suppression, see 5.1.6 Suppressing monitoring of large numbers of events by setting repeated event conditions.

The consolidated display of repeated events applies to events received after you configure the feature. Events received before this point are not subject to consolidated display. Event consolidation ends when more than a specified length of time has elapsed between the consolidation start event and the arrival of received events. A maximum of 100 events can be consolidated into a single event.
