2.9 Setting up Event Service (for UNIX)
To set each host in order to manage events by means of JP1/IM using JP1 events:
-
Set up an Event Service environment.
Normally, the default settings can be used for operation, but in the following cases, customize the settings:
-
The capacity of the event database is to be increased.
-
JP1/IM manages events that are in the JP1/SES format.
JP1/IM - Manager collects JP1 events from JP1/Base (Event Service) using the user name root. If you specify the users parameter in the event server settings file (conf) of the JP1/Base (Event Service) that is running on the same host, include root. If root is not included, JP1/IM - Manager will no longer start successfully.
-
-
Set event conversions.
To use JP1 events to manage log files, SNMP traps, and Windows event logs, set the event conversions.
For details about the settings, see the chapter that describes the setting of an Event Service environment and event conversion in the JP1/Base User's Guide.
- Important
-
Specify keep-alive for the communication type in the API settings file of the host on which JP1/IM Manager is running. If you specify close for the communication type, because JP1/IM - Manager uses a temporary port every time it receives an event, temporary ports might be insufficient.
- Important
-
JP1/IM - Manager obtains an event with user name "root" from JP1/Base (Event Service). If the users parameter is specified in the event server configuration file of the JP1/Base (Event Service) running on the same host, specify to include root. If root is not included, JP1/IM - Manager is unable to start normally.
