2.5.1 Resetting the date/time of a monitored host in a remote monitoring configuration to a past date/time
If you want to reset the date/time of a monitored host in a remote monitoring configuration after intentionally changing the date/time to a point in the future for testing or other purposes, you must delete the event log for the future date/time and the file that contains the collection status for remote monitoring on the host.
To reset the date/time:
-
If there is a remote monitoring event log trap that is running on the host, stop it.
-
Change the date/time of the host.
-
Confirm that the host does not have an event log whose date/time is later than the current date/time on the host. If there is such a log, delete the corresponding event log.
-
Back up the following file that contains the collection status, and then delete the original file:
-
For a physical host
Manager-path\log\imcf\profiles\monitored-host-name\al\event_log_trap\evt.wdef
-
For a logical host
shared-folder\JP1IMM\log\imcf\profiles\monitored-host-name\al\event_log_trap\evt.wdef
If you delete the wrong file by mistake, restore the file from the backup.
-
-
Restart the stopped remote monitoring event log trap.
If the date and time of the monitored host do not match the date and time of the machine where JP1/IM - Manager is running, remote-monitoring event log traps cannot be used for monitoring. When changing the date/time of a monitored host, also check the date/time of the host on which JP1/IM is running.
