12.1.2 Considerations for forwarding JP1 events to managers

Consider how to set up JP1/IM to forward the JP1 events required for system management to a manager.

JP1 events are managed by the JP1/Base event service and are forwarded according to the target JP1 events and destination hosts defined in the event forwarding settings.

Under the default settings, JP1 events whose event level is Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, or Warning are forwarded through the hierarchy of managers and agents set in the system configuration definition.

You will need to customize the default settings in the following cases:

About JP1 event forwarding:
  • Setting JP1 event forwarding

    See the chapter on setting the event service environment in the JP1/Base User's Guide.

  • Setting the system configuration definition

    See the description of the configuration definition file (jbs_route.conf) in the JP1/Base User's Guide.

    Important

    Filter the JP1 events issued by agents so that only severe events that need to be managed by a manager will be forwarded. If all JP1 events from agents are sent to managers, there could be delays in event forwarding or in event registration at the manager host.

    When restrictions are set on viewing and operating business groups, do not forward JP1 events between different business groups.
