When a related event is issued, a new event can be issued. |
|
|
A large number of events can be consolidated into one event to avoid overlooking important events. |
|
|
Suppressing forwarding of a large number of events |
You can prevent a large number of events issued on an agent from being forwarded to the manager. |
|
Users can freely change the severity of events depending on system operations. |
|
|
Messages are converted into the specified format before they are displayed in JP1/IM - View so that users can recognize the messages more easily. |
|
|
Guide information for investigating and resolving events that occur during system monitoring can be displayed. |
|
|
Remote monitoring# |
You can monitor log files on monitored hosts without JP1/Base installed. |
|
System monitoring in virtualization configurations |
You can use a program such as virtualization environment management software to acquire information about a virtual machine and display the configuration in a tree format. |
|
Operations and information that users are allowed can be restricted by group. |
|
|
Linkage with other JP1 products |
JP1/IM can be linked with products such as JP1/Service Support and JP1/Navigation Platform to monitor systems. |
|
Support of cluster environment |
Using JP1/IM in a cluster system allows system monitoring to continue if a server failure occurs. |
|
#: In remote monitoring, log monitoring might stop or log data might no longer be acquired as events due to a communication failure related to specification restrictions. If the system cannot tolerate such situations, install JP1/Base and use it for monitoring rather than configuring remote monitoring in JP1/IM.
