4.9 Mapping of the event source hosts
The management of host information in JP1 events has been a troublesome task for the system administrator when those events are issued from other monitoring systems. For example, the system administrator needs to check the host information displayed in messages and in the Event Details window.
When you use mapping of the event source hosts, you can display and define the events that caused JP1 events as the event source hosts.
The mapping function of the event source host compares a JP1 event received from the event service on the manager host with the event condition. If the JP1 event satisfies the event condition, the function maps information about the host on which the event set in the JP1 event has occurred to the Event source host name attribute (which is an extended attribute of the JP1 event), and then adds the information to the integrated monitoring database. If the JP1 event does not satisfy the event condition, the function maps the information about that host to Source host (event-issuing server) and then adds the information to the integrated monitoring database.
By using this function, the system administrator can display Event source host name as an item in the Event Console window, and then use an event source host to search for events or define actions.
This function can be used when the integrated monitoring database is used.

Execute the jcoimdef command to enable mapping of the event source hosts. To do this, see 5.15 Setting event source host mapping in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Configuration Guide.
Event source hosts are not displayed in the event list by default. To display the event source hosts in the event list, from the Preferences window, set the event source host item in Available items. For details about the Preferences window, see 3.24 Preferences window in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager GUI Reference.
