1.3.2 Integrated management using JP1 events
JP1/IM - Manager centrally manages the various events that occur in the system as JP1 events. Events generated by JP1/Base, which provides the core functionality for integrated management, are managed by the agent hosts in the system as JP1 events. The agents forward JP1 events to JP1/IM - Manager for centralized management as needed.
Alternatively, JP1 events accumulated at an agent can be acquired by JP1/IM - Manager and managed at the JP1/IM - Manager side.

Implementing integrated management by simply collecting all JP1 events would result in a deluge of events across the system. Severe events could easily be overlooked, making operations management more difficult. Too many events would also place a greater load on the monitoring system. Using event filtering, JP1/IM - Manager selects only those events relevant to operations management, allowing JP1 events to be managed appropriately. The filtering feature gives you various choices: You can select which events to send to JP1/IM - Manager, and which to treat as severe events.
In addition, JP1/IM - Manager can manage the following events:
-
Events (such as messages in the log files, the Windows event logs, and SNMP traps managed by HP NNM version 7.5 or earlier) that are converted into JP1 events by JP1/Base event conversion. JP1/IM - Manager can also manage events issued by a user application calling a command or the API.
-
Events (such as messages in the log files and the Windows event logs) that are issued on hosts on which JP1/Base has not been installed and that are converted into JP1 events by remote monitoring based on the remote communication settings.
A monitored host for which the remote communication settings have been set is called a remotely monitored host.

NNMi incidents converted into JP1 events by JP1/IM - EG for NNMi. For details about NNMi incidents, see the manual Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management 2 - Event Gateway for Network Node Manager i Description, User's Guide and Reference.

Events handled by a wide variety of non-JP1 products and converted into JP1 events.
