Display message change function	Messages are converted into the specified format before they are displayed in JP1/IM - View so that users can recognize the messages more easily.	4.8 Changing the message display format in the Overview and System Design Guide 12.1.9 Considerations for changing display messages for JP1 events in the Overview and System Design Guide 5.14 Setting the display message change function in the Configuration Guide 6.9.5 Changing the message displayed for a JP1 event in the Administration Guide
Event guide function	Guide information for investigating and resolving events that occur during system monitoring can be displayed.	4.10 Event guide function in the Overview and System Design Guide 12.1.10 Considerations for setting event guide information in the Overview and System Design Guide 5.8 Editing event guide information in the Configuration Guide
Remote monitoring^#	You can monitor log files on monitored hosts without JP1/Base installed.	7.2.8 Selection of agent configuration or remote monitoring configuration in the Overview and System Design Guide 7.6 Managing remotely monitored hosts in the Overview and System Design Guide 12.5.2 Managing the remote monitoring configuration in the Overview and System Design Guide 1.17 Specifying settings for monitoring logs on remotely monitored hosts (for Windows) in the Configuration Guide 2.16 Specifying settings for monitoring logs on remotely monitored hosts (for UNIX) in the Configuration Guide
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.	7.3 Virtualization configuration management in the Overview and System Design Guide 3.3 Setting a virtualization system configuration in the Configuration Guide
Business group	Operations and information that users are allowed can be restricted by group.	7.4 Managing business groups in the Overview and System Design Guide 12.5.4 Considerations for business groups in the Overview and System Design Guide 3.4 Setting business groups in the Configuration Guide 5.19 Setting reference and operation restrictions on business groups in the Configuration Guide 9.4 Managing business groups in the Administration Guide
Linkage with other JP1 products	JP1/IM can be linked with products such as JP1/Service Support and JP1/Navigation Platform to monitor systems.	9. Linking with Other Products in the Overview and System Design Guide 10. Settings for Linking to Other JP1 Products in the Configuration Guide
Support of cluster environment	Using JP1/IM in a cluster system allows system monitoring to continue if a server failure occurs.	13.3.8 Configuration for operation in a cluster system in the Overview and System Design Guide 7. Operation and Environment Configuration in a Cluster System (for Windows) in the Configuration Guide 8. Operation and Environment Configuration in a Cluster System (for UNIX) in the Configuration Guide

#: 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.
