B.1 Procedure for configuring visual monitoring

(1) Setting up the central scope

When JP1/IM - Manager is installed, the central scope function is disabled. Therefore, you must use the jcoimdef command to enable the central scope service. Perform this operation on managers.

Prerequisites

The OS user who will execute the jcsdbsetup, jcoimdef, and jco_spmd_status commands has Administrator or root permissions.

Procedure

1. Stop the JP1/IM2 - Manager service.

2. Execute the following jcsdbsetup command to create a central scope database:

   • In Windows:

     "Scope-path\bin\jcsdbsetup"

   • In Linux:

     /opt/jp1scope/bin/jcsdbsetup

3. Execute the following jcoimdef command to enable the central scope service (jcsmain):

   • In Windows:

     "Console-path\bin\jcoimdef" -s ON

   • In Linux:

     /opt/jp1cons/bin/jcoimdef -s ON

4. Start the JP1/IM2 - Manager service.

5. Execute the following jco_spmd_status command to make sure that the central scope service is running:

   • In Windows:

     "Console-path\bin\jco_spmd_status"

   • In Linux:

     /opt/jp1cons/bin/jco_spmd_status

   Make sure that jcsmain is displayed as a running process.

(2) Configuring the central scope to enable visual monitoring in a tree format

To visually monitor the system hierarchy, add monitoring nodes in the Monitoring Tree window of the central scope.

Prerequisites

A JP1 user must satisfy the following conditions in order to perform the operation:

• JP1 permission level JP1_Console_Admin has been assigned.

• JP1 resource group JP1_Console has been assigned.

Procedure

1. From the Windows Start menu, select All Programs, JP1_Integrated Management - View, and then Edit Monitoring Tree. The Monitoring Tree (Editing) window appears.

   After logging in to the central scope, you can also display the Monitoring Tree (Editing) window from the Monitoring Tree window.

2. In the Monitoring Tree (Editing) window, select Edit, and then Create New Monitoring Node. The Create New Monitoring Node window appears.

3. Add the monitoring nodes according to the following figure.

   

4. In the Monitoring Tree (Editing) window, select File, and then Update Server Tree to apply the edited tree data to the Monitoring Tree window.

   When the Login window appears, enter the JP1 user name and password registered on the authentication server.

(3) Setting the attributes of monitoring nodes

By setting the attributes of monitoring nodes, you can change the icon used by a monitoring node or change the status of a monitoring node when an event is received. The following describes how to set the monitoring node attributes for host A shown in 2.1 Overview of a basic configuration system.

Prerequisites

Monitoring nodes must be displayed in the Monitoring Tree window.

Procedure

1. In the Monitoring Tree window, select host A.

2. In the pop-up menu displayed by right-clicking, select Properties to open the Properties window.

3. Select the Status-Change Condition list box, and then click the Add button. The Status-Change Condition Settings window appears.

4. Specify the necessary settings in the Status-Change Condition Settings window and the Common Condition Detailed Settings window according to the following figure.

To display hosts in a map format, you first create a Visual Monitoring window. The following describes how to create the Visual Monitoring window from the Visual Monitoring (Editing) window.

Prerequisites

Monitoring nodes must be displayed in the Monitoring Tree window.

Procedure

1. From the Windows Start menu, select All Programs, JP1_Integrated Management - View, and then Edit Monitoring Tree. The Edit View window appears.

2. In the Monitoring Tree (Editing) window, from the menu bar, select Acquire Tree from Server to apply the settings in the Monitoring Tree window to the Monitoring Tree (Editing) window.

3. In the Monitoring Tree (Editing) window, from the menu bar, select Edit, and then Create New Visual Monitoring Window. The Visual Monitoring (Editing) window appears.

4. Create a Visual Monitoring window according to the following figure.
