5.5.1 Linking with JP1/IM
ITSLM uses JP1/Base functions and issues JP1 events in the following cases:
-
Events to be reported to monitoring persons occurred on monitored services
-
Events to be reported to system operators occurred in ITSLM
The JP1 events are forwarded to JP1/IM - Manager if their forwarding settings are specified in JP1/Base's forwarding settings file. The JP1 events can then be monitored centrally from JP1/IM - View's Event Console window.
Also, if you set up automated actions in JP1/IM - Manager, you can automate notification of monitoring results by using emails and alarms to report JP1 events.
For details about the forwarding settings, see the Job Management Partner 1/Base User's Guide. For details about automated actions, see the Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Overview and System Design Guide.
This subsection explains how to link ITSLM with JP1/IM.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Before you start
-
Verify that setup of ITSLM - Manager has been completed.
For details about the setup method, see 5.1.6 Setting up ITSLM - Manager.
-
Install JP1/IM.
There is no need to install JP1/IM on the host on which ITSLM - Manager is installed. For details about how to install JP1/IM, see the Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Configuration Guide.
(2) Procedure
To link with JP1/IM:
-
In ITSLM - Manager's system definition file (jp1itslm.properties), set the JP1Event property to true.
Edit ITSLM - Manager's system definition file. The system definition file is stored at the following location:
ITSLM-Manager-installation-folder\mgr\conf\jp1itslm.properties
-
Copy ITSLM - Manager's definition file for extended event attributes to JP1/IM - Manager's folder.
- ITSLM - Manager's source file for Japanese language environment:
-
ITSLM-Manager-installation-folder\mgr\conf\event\jp1imm\ja\hitachi_jp1_itslm_attr_sys_ja.conf
- ITSLM - Manager's source file for English language environment:
-
ITSLM-Manager-installation-folder\mgr\conf\event\jp1imm\en\hitachi_jp1_itslm_attr_sys_en.conf
- JP1/IM - Manager's target folder:
-
JP1/IM-Manager-installation-folder\conf\console\attribute\
If you are using JP1/IM - Manager in a cluster environment, replace JP1/IM-Manager-installation-folder with shared-folder\jp1cons.
-
Restart JP1/IM - Manager.
The definition change that has been made is not applied until JP1/IM - Manager is restarted.
The setup for linking with JP1/IM is now complete.
(3) Supplementary information
-
The table below lists the JP1 events that are issued by ITSLM. For details about the attributes of the JP1 events, see the manual Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Command and Definition File Reference.

ITSLM - Manager terminated abnormally.
0x00006890#
Trend monitoring detected a trend in service performance that might lead to an overage of a threshold.
0x00006891#
Threshold value monitoring detected that service performance has exceeded a threshold.
0x00006892#
An out-of-range value that is significantly different from the baseline was detected during out-of-range value detection.
0x00006893#
SLO monitoring detected a trend in system performance that might lead to an overage of an SLO threshold.
0x00006894#
Threshold value monitoring detected that system performance has exceeded the upper-limit threshold value.
Threshold value monitoring detected that system performance has dropped below the lower-limit threshold value.
0x00006895#
A system performance value that is significantly different from the baseline was detected during predictive error detection.
#: JP1 events are issued when system performance exceeds a threshold if the JP1Event and JP1EventForSystem properties are set to true in ITSLM - Manager's system definition file (jp1itslm.properties).
