4.1 Creating an NNMi incident forwarding filter definition file

The NNMi incident forwarding filter definition file is used to specify conditions for converting NNMi incidents acquired from NNMi into JP1 events. This file defines the following information:

• Conditions for determining the NNMi incidents that are to be converted into JP1 events (filter conditions)

• Correspondences between NNMi incident attributes and JP1 event attributes (mapping conditions)

Only those NNMi incidents that satisfy the filter conditions are converted into JP1 events according to the specified mapping conditions and then registered into the event database of JP1/Base.

Creating an NNMi incident forwarding filter definition file

There is no NNMi incident forwarding filter definition file at the time of installation. You must copy the sample file, rename it, and then edit the sample definitions in the file. If you do not create an NNMi incident forwarding filter definition file, NNMi incidents will not be converted into JP1 events.

The name and storage location of the sample NNMi incident forwarding filter definition file are shown below.

File name

imevtgw_nnmi_forward_filter.conf
