5.2.3 Settings for severe events filters

You can set conditions for the severe events that are to be displayed on the Severe Events page in the Event Console window. By setting severe events filters, you can define specific JP1 events as severe events.

Because the specified settings are saved in the manager's JP1/IM - Manager, the same information is displayed by all JP1/IM - Views that are connected to the same JP1/IM - Manager.

To set a severe events filter, you need JP1_Console_Admin permission.

If reference and operation restrictions are set on business groups, you might not be able to set severe events 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.

To set a severe events filter:

1. Select a JP1 event from the events list to use its attribute value as the severe event definition conditions.

2. In the Event Console window, choose Options, and then Severe Event Definitions.

   The Severe Event Definitions window appears.

3. In the Severe Event Definitions window, define a severe event.

   In the Severe Event Definitions window, you can specify the following settings:

   • Condition group

     Specify a name for a group of conditions in order to distinguish sets of pass conditions or exclusion-conditions.

     You can set a maximum of 30 pass-conditions groups and 30 exclusion-conditions groups. The relationship between condition groups is the OR condition.

     To set condition groups, you must click the Show List button to keep List displayed.

     To add a condition group: Click the Add button to add an unnamed Condition group n (n: number).

     To copy a condition group: Select a condition group and then click the Copy button to add Copy selected-condition-group-name.

     To delete a condition group: Select a condition group and then click the Delete button to delete the selected condition group.

     To rename a condition group: Select a condition group to display its name in Condition group name. Edit this name and move the focus to rename the condition group.

   • To set conditions (detailed settings for a condition group)

     Specify pass conditions or exclusion-conditions for the filter.

     You can combine multiple conditions, in which case the relationship between conditions is the AND condition.

     The items that you can specify include source host, event level, object type, object name, root object type, root object name, occurrence, user name, message, product name, event ID, action status, and program-specific extended attributes. If you enable event source host mapping, you can also specify event source host name.

     To apply the attribute value of the JP1 event selected from the Event Console window to the conditions list, click the Read From Selected Event button.

4. Click the OK button.

   The specified definition takes effect and the Severe Event Definitions window closes.

Important

You can create one severe event definition for each manager. The same information is displayed by all JP1/IM - Views that are connected to the same manager's JP1/IM - Manager. Carefully evaluate the settings before you specify them.
