5.1.10 Displaying and handling correlation events

This subsection explains how to display and handle correlation events.

Displaying correlation events:

Correlation events are displayed on the Monitor Events page, Severe Events page, and Search Events page of the Event Console window.

For a correlation event, an icon is displayed in Type.

Either the correlation succeeded icon [Figure] or the correlation failed icon is displayed.

Note that Type is not a default display item. To display it, you must specify Type as a display item in the Preferences window. For details, see 2.22 Preferences window in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager GUI Reference.

Handling correlation events:

You can perform the same kinds of operations on correlation events as on JP1 events. For example, you can display event details and change the response status.

In the case of a correlation approval event, from the correlation event, you can display the correlation source event that became the trigger for its generation. If the host that generated the correlation event is different from the host you logged on to using JP1/IM - View, the correlation source event is acquired from the host that generated the correlation event.

In the case of a correlation failure event, you can display the correlation source events that were associated according to the event-correlating condition until the time when the correlation failure occurred.

To display correlation approval events and correlation failure events:

Select a correlation event on one of the following pages of the Event Console window:

Monitor Events page

Severe Events page

Search Events page
From the View menu, choose Display Related Event List. Alternatively, from the popup menu, choose Display Related Event List.

The Related Events (Correlation) or Related Events (Correlation fails) window opens and lists correlation events.

If you are using the repeated event monitoring suppression function or the consolidated display of repeated events function, correlation events may be consolidated and displayed as shown below.

Table 5‒8: Example of consolidated display of correlation events
Display example	Explanation
	Correlation events have been consolidated.
	Correlation events are being consolidated.
	Correlation events that have been consolidated are deleted.
	The response status of the correlation event's consolidation start event is different from the response status of the repeated events.

In this case, to display the correlation source event, first open the Related Events (Summary) window and then open the Related Events (Correlation) or Related Events (Correlation fails) window.

To display the correlation source event:

Select one correlation event that is consolidated from the Monitor Events page or Severe Events page of the Event Console window.
From the View menu, choose Display Related Event List. Alternatively, from the popup menu, choose Display Related Event List.

The Related Events (Summary) window opens and lists correlation events.
Select one correlation event from Related Events in the Related Events (Summary) window.
From the popup menu, choose Display Related Event List.

The Related Events (Correlation) or Related Events (Correlation fails) window opens and lists correlation source events.

For details about how to view events that are consolidated and displayed, see 5.1.8 Displaying consolidated events when events with the same attributes occur consecutively.

To change the response status of a correlation event or correlation source event to Deleted, you must first open the Related Events (Correlation) or Related Events (Correlation fails) window from the Severe Events page. Make sure that either of the following windows is displayed:

Severe Events
Severe Events - Related Events (Summary)

Even if you change the response status of the correlation event to be displayed in the Related Events (Correlation) or Related Events (Correlation fails) window, the response status of the correlation source events displayed in the list does not change. Likewise, even if you change the response status of the correlation source events displayed in the list, the response status of the correlation event to be displayed does not change. This is because correlation source events and correlation events express different phenomena.
