4.2 Removing hosts undergoing maintenance from the items to be monitored

Whenever you restart a server on a host that is undergoing maintenance, a large number of events not needed for system monitoring are issued and displayed in the event list, making it difficult to check necessary events.

To avoid displaying unnecessary events in the event list, in advance remove hosts undergoing maintenance from the items to be monitored. With common exclusion-conditions, you can prevent actions from being executed while you continue monitoring events.

Note:

If you need to perform maintenance on an entire system that includes JP1/IM - Manager, perform the maintenance in the order of higher hosts to lower hosts. If you start maintenance from lower hosts, the events that can be viewed in JP1/IM - View before JP1/IM - Manager stopped might be different from those after JP1/IM - Manager starts.

Tip:

To remove, from the items to be monitored, the events that are not predefined in common exclusion conditions but become unnecessary while the system is operating:: After system monitoring starts, events that are not predefined in common exclusion conditions but become unnecessary while the system is operating might be issued. Use additional common exclusion conditions in filters to remove, from the items to be monitored, events that become unnecessary while the system is operating. Additional common exclusion conditions are exclusion conditions that are defined by using monitored events while the system is operating. For details, see 4.2.7 (3) Additional common exclusion-conditions in the Overview and System Design Guide, and 6.5.4 Setting an additional common exclusion-condition to exclude a JP1 event from the monitoring target or action execution in the Administration Guide.
