2.3.1 Functionality for system monitoring
The system needs to be monitored continuously to ensure it is running normally.

The Intelligent Integrated Management Base checks for signs of operational faults in the system and displays in the integrated operation viewer the correlations between not only related performance information items (trends) but also related nodes that show links between monitoring targets. This allows you to keep track of the state of the system with ease, and you can therefore quickly notice abnormalities or warning signs in the system.
By providing centralized monitoring, the Central Console makes monitoring more efficient, supports early error detection, and reduces management overheads. Even when JP1 events not necessary for monitoring occur in large numbers, you can maintain efficient monitoring by setting repeated event conditions to suppress the display of unnecessary JP1 events that meet the specified conditions.
When the system being monitored is large and complex, problems might be detected successfully, but their impact on operations is never easy to determine. The Central Scope offers visual representation using monitoring windows in a tree or map view, enabling system monitoring from any viewpoint required by the system administrator. You can visually check the area affected by the problem that occurred in the system. This enhances management efficiency and enables preventive action to isolate any problems.
User management and configuration management are part of the core functionality for monitoring the system. User management entails mapping of the JP1 user with the OS user when a JP1 user executes a command. IM Configuration Management manages the system hierarchy.

JP1/IM - Manager can only monitor JP1 events that were issued after it began operation. Events that occurred earlier are excluded from monitoring by JP1/IM - Manager.
