JP1 Version 12 JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Configuration Guide


5.2.2 Settings for event receiver filters

You can limit the JP1 events that can be monitored by the user in the Event Console window.

The specified settings are applied to the events that are distributed to JP1/IM - View after you click the Apply button in the Settings for Event Receiver Filter window. A user for whom no event receiver filters have been set can monitor all JP1 events.

To set event receiver filters, you need JP1_Console_Admin permission. If reference and operation restrictions are set on business groups, you might not be able to set event receiver filters depending on the combinations of JP1 resource groups and JP1 permission levels. For details, see 4.1.4(2) Assigning a JP1 resource group and permission level to a JP1 user in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Overview and System Design Guide.
