JP1 Version 12 JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Overview and System Design Guide


12.1.1 Considerations for event management using JP1 events

Consider how to set up JP1/IM to manage system events using JP1 events.

Organization of this subsection

(1) Linkage with programs that issue JP1 events

A JP1/IM system can use JP1 events issued by products in the JP1 series or by any other program capable of issuing JP1 events.

Some programs require special settings to issue JP1 events. For details, see the documentation for the product concerned.

(2) Using JP1 event-issuing commands

If you have a program that does not issue JP1 events, consider using the JP1 event-issuing commands (jevsend and jevsendd) to do so. These two commands differ in whether JP1 event registration is verified. For details, see below.

About JP1 event-issuing commands:
  • Registering a JP1 event using a JP1 event-issuing command

    See the description of the jevsend command and jevsendd command in the JP1/Base User's Guide.

(3) Converting non-JP1 events

If you want to monitor an event that is output in any of the following forms, you can use an event converter to convert it into a JP1 event that can be managed by JP1/IM:

Consider the event converter setup required in JP1/Base to use these non-JP1 events

About event conversion:
  • Converting log file messages into JP1 events

    See the description of converting log files output by an application program in the chapter on setting the event converters in the JP1/Base User's Guide.

  • Converting SNMP traps into JP1 events

    See the description of SNMP trap conversion in the chapter on setting the event converters in the JP1/Base User's Guide

  • Converting Windows event log entries into JP1 events.

    See the description of Windows event log conversion in the chapter on setting the event converters in the JP1/Base User's Guide.
