5.1.1 Displaying events by specifying the event acquisition range at login
If you set the number of days required for handling severe events as the event acquisition range at login, severe events other than ones already handled and the latest event are displayed when you log in to JP1/IM. You can specify the range by using the number of days or hours.
The way of specifying the event acquisition start location depends on whether the range is specified by the number of days or hours. The set number of days, the time on the host on which Central Console is running at login, and the base time are used for specification.
To specify the event acquisition range:
-
From the menu in the Event Console window, select Options, and then System Environment Settings.
The System Environment Settings window appears.
-
On the Display tab, select the Enable the Monitor Events page or Enable the Severe Events page check box.
Range of events to be collected is activated.
-
Specify day(s) and Base time, or hours.
For Base time, you can specify the time that separates days in the range from 00:00 to 23:59. By default, the base time is 09:00.
- Note
-
The display range of events depends on whether base time or current time is larger on the host on which Central Console is running at login. The following shows the display range of JP1 events for both cases:
-
When the current time on the host on which Central Console is running at login is larger than the base time of the current day:
The base time of the day calculated by (current-day - (set-number-of-days - 1)) is set for the event acquisition start location.
-
When the current time on the host on which Central Console is running at login is smaller than the base time of the current day:
The base time of the day calculated by (current-day - set-number-of-days) is set for the event acquisition start location.
-
At login, the latest event from the event acquisition start location is displayed. After that, an event is displayed when it occurs.
For example, when the acquisition range is set to 2 days and the base time is set to 09:30, if you log in at 09:15 on June 23, a list of JP1 events from 09:30 on June 21 to the latest event is displayed.
For day(s), you can specify how many days of past JP1 events (from the current day) are displayed, in the range from 1 to 31. By default, day(s) is set to 1.
For hours, you can specify how many hours of events (occurring before the latest event) are acquired at login, in the range from 1 to 744. By default, hours is set to 1.
-
Click the OK button.
The settings (event acquisition range at login) are applied, and the System Environment Settings window closes. At the next and subsequent logins, JP1 events occurring in the specified time period are displayed in the Event Console window.
In some cases, such as when the current time on the host on which Central Console is running at login is larger than the base time of the current day, the range specified as 1 day might not be 24 hours. When the monitoring work is taken over during a time period that includes the base time, if the predecessor's monitoring range is also taken over, add 1 day to the monitoring range or use the slider to display events.
