5.11.3 System monitoring using the Central Scope
The Central Scope visually represents events occurring in the system by analyzing JP1 events, determining where they occurred in the monitoring tree, and changing the status of the icon at that location.
The following figure shows the flow of processing.

The flow of processing is described below, following the numbers in the figure:
-
A JP1 event is generated on the agent and is registered with the event service.
-
The registered JP1 event is forwarded to a higher-level manager. The higher-level manager is determined from the configuration definitions of the configuration management function.
The event base service on the manager acquires the JP1 event from the event service. The event base service is solely responsible for processing JP1 events in JP1/IM. (For details about JP1 event acquisition and JP1 event control within JP1/IM - Manager, see 4.1.3 Internal control of JP1 events by JP1/IM - Manager.)
-
The JP1 event is passed to JP1/IM - Manager (Central Scope service), which analyzes the JP1 event, determines its severity, and associates it with a position in the monitoring tree.
The monitoring objects database is used for these processes.
-
The system event is displayed visually in the Central Scope viewer (Monitoring Tree window and Visual Monitoring window) of JP1/IM - View.
In this way, the JP1 events generated on the agents in the system are accumulated on the JP1/IM managers, and the system is represented visually in the monitoring windows.
