5.8 Switching the event acquisition filter
From the multiple event acquisition filters that have been saved, you can select the filtering condition that JP1/IM uses when acquiring JP1 events from JP1/Base, and you can switch to this condition.
In an event acquisition filter, you can switch between enabling and disabling a common exclusion-condition, which is defined to temporarily exclude certain JP1 events from being acquired.
You switch the common exclusion-condition when it is necessary to exclude a host on which maintenance work is being performed from the monitoring object, so that the JP1 events generated on the host being maintained are temporarily filtered out and not acquired.
The following two methods are available for switching an event acquisition filter and a common exclusion-condition:
-
Making the switch from the System Environment Settings window or Event Acquisition Conditions List window of JP1/IM - View
-
Using the jcochfilter command to make the switch
Note, however, that if an event acquisition filter is running for a compatibility reason, you cannot switch it.
For details about the events that are generated when an event acquisition filter is switched, see 3.2.2 Event acquisition filter in the Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Overview and System Design Guide.
