5.2.1 Items displayed in the events list

The events list displays the attribute items (basic attributes, common extended attributes, and program-specific extended attributes) of each event. The displayed items cannot be changed.

The following table lists the items (columns) displayed in the events list.

Table 5‒2: Items displayed in the events list

Display item (column name)

Explanation

Event status

It displays the status (Processed, Processing, Held, and Unprocessed) of the JP1 event.

In the case of a consolidation event, the event status of the consolidation start event is displayed. If the event status of the consolidation start event differs from the event status of a repeated event consolidated with it, an exclamation mark (!) is displayed in the Event status column of the consolidation start event.

Consolidation event

A consolidation start event displays [Figure].

[Figure] (Severe event)

If an event is a severe event, it displays [Figure]. A consolidation start event displays [Figure] if it is a severe event.

When repeated events consolidated as a severe event actually consist of not only severe events but also non-severe events, an exclamation mark (!) is displayed.

Event level

It indicates the urgency of a JP1 event. From the most urgent to the least urgent, the value can be: Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Notice, Information, and Debug.

When you are using the integrated monitoring database, if you use the severity changing function to change a severity level, this attribute indicates the urgency of the JP1 event after the change.

Serial number

Order in which the JP1 event arrived at this event server, regardless of the source.

Registered time

Time at which a JP1 event was registered in the event database of the event-issuing host.

Event source host

Name of the agent that registered the JP1 event (source event server).

User name

Name of the user that issued the JP1 event.

Event ID

Value that indicates the source program or the event that occurred.

Message

Message text that shows the content of the JP1 event.

Object type

Character strings, such as JOB and JOBNET, that indicate the type of object where the event that triggered event generation occurred.

Action

When automated actions are set up and if an event becomes the target of action execution, an action icon [Figure] (action that was not suppressed), [Figure] (action that was suppressed), or [Figure] (action that was partially suppressed) is displayed.

If a large number of events occur while the corresponding action is suppressed by the repeated event monitoring suppression function, [Figure] is displayed in the Events window.

When an event is not the target of action execution due to the common exclusion-conditions, [Figure] (action-excluded event) is displayed.

When the action status differs between a consolidation start event and repeated events, an exclamation mark (!) is displayed in the Action column.

Width of the item column

You can change the width of the column for the item displayed in the events list with the drag operation of the mouse. You can also drag the column itself to change the order of the columns.

Background colors for severe events

For a severe event, one of the colors shown in the following table is applied depending on the event level displayed in the Events area:

Table 5‒3: Background colors for severe events

Event level

Warning, Notice, Information, Debug

Other than Processed

Emergency, Alert, Critical

Processed

White (no background color)

Event response status

For any event for which the JP1 event response status is specified, an event status and an icon are displayed at the leftmost column of the events list.

The table below lists the event status types and the corresponding event status icons. Choose the event status to set for each situation based on the operation.

(No icon)

The specified event status is registered in the logged-in manager's integrated monitoring database or event database. (For a JP1 event that has been forwarded from a different host, the information in the integrated monitoring database or event database of the forwarding source host is not changed.) Consequently, the event status is applied to the Monitor Events and Severe Events pages of instances of JP1/IM - View that are logged in to the same manager.

Upper limit of the number of events that can be displayed on the screen

The upper limit of JP1 events that can be displayed on the screen is 100. If the number of JP1 events exceeds the upper limit of JP1 events that can be displayed, 100 events from the latest event are displayed. You can view 101st and later events sequentially by moving to the next page.

Refresh of the Events window

The Events window refreshes automatically after the Intelligent Integrated Management server is checked for new events at regular intervals. The window is updated automatically only if the latest events are displayed. The window is not updated automatically if past events (101st and later events) are displayed. In addition, you cannot change the update interval.

Note that if you update the window manually, the latest events are displayed.

Status filtering

You can filter the events to be displayed in the Events window by using the [Figure] Filter by status button. With the colors of the buttons, the events shown in the following table can be filtered:

Table 5‒5: Button color and Event to be filtered

Button color

Event to be filtered

Event level

Event status

Yellow

Warning, Notice, Information, Debug

Other than Processed

Orange

Error

Red

Emergency, Alert, Critical

You can turn on all the buttons. If the filtering mode is changed, the latest events (100 events) are collected to refresh the events list with the settings after the change.

Important

The integrated operation viewer does not support the consolidated display of repeated events function.
