6.1.1 Items displayed in the events list
The events list displays the attributes of JP1 events and their handling status. For the event attributes, you can also display basic attributes, common extended attributes, and program-specific extended attributes.
You can change the column width of the items displayed in the events list by holding the mouse button down on a column edge and dragging. If you change a column width on one page (on the Monitor Events page, for example), it is also changed on the other two pages (Severe Events and Search Events pages).
You can set up the Monitor Events, Severe Events, and Search Events pages so that background colors are added to specific events displayed in these pages. You can add background colors to events with the following levels of severity: Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, and Warning.
If you use the severity changing function to change a severity level, set up a background color for the events at the changed severity level.
You can set the severity changing function if you are using the integrated monitoring database.
For details about how to set up the integrated monitoring database, see 1.4.2 Setting up the integrated monitoring database (for Windows) or 2.4.2 Setting up the integrated monitoring database (for UNIX) in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Configuration Guide.
For details about how to set up the severity changing function, see 5.13 Setting the severity changing function in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Configuration Guide.
In the Preferences window, you can specify whether to save the column width for each display item when you log out, and whether to add background colors for specific events. For details about the Preferences window, see 3.24 Preferences window in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager GUI Reference.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Basic attributes, common extended attributes, and program-specific extended attributes of JP1 events
The events list displays the attributes (basic attributes, common extended attributes, or program-specific extended attributes) of each event. The default is that the severity level, registered time, registered host name, user name, event ID, message, object type, and action are displayed. You can change the items displayed in the events list from the Preferences window. For details about how to change displayed items, see 3.24 Preferences window in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager GUI Reference.
The items that can be displayed (columns) in the events list are those event attributes that are listed in the table below.
|
Attribute |
Explanation |
|---|---|
|
Response status display item |
Displays information (Processed, Processing, Held, or Unprocessed) that indicates the response status of JP1 events. If the response status of a consolidated event is different from the response status of repeated events, ! is displayed. |
|
Consolidation status |
This attribute shows the number of times a consolidated event is repeated. It is only displayed when monitoring of repeated events is suppressed or the display of repeated events is consolidated. For events that are being consolidated, + is displayed after the repetition count, indicating that consolidation is in progress. |
|
Severity |
This attribute indicates the urgency of a JP1 event, in the following descending order: 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. |
|
Registered time |
Time at which a JP1 event was registered in the event database of the event-issuing host. |
|
Registered host name |
Name of the agent (source event server) that registered the JP1 event. |

(2) Program-specific extended attributes of JP1 events (displaying program-specific extended attributes)
When you set up a definition file for extended event attributes (extended file), you can display the content of a program-specific extended attribute in the column of the events list with a specified item name. For example, when you specify System Name as the item name for the E.SYSTEM program-specific extended attribute, you can display the attribute value of the E.SYSTEM program-specific extended attribute under an item called System Name in the events list.
(3) Program-specific extended attributes of JP1 events (event information mapping)
When you set up event information mapping, you can display the content of a program-specific extended attribute in the display item (basic attribute or common extended attribute) column of the events list. For example, when an SNP trap is converted into a JP1 event to be displayed in the events list, you can display the SNMP trap source host name in the registered host column.
When a program-specific extended attribute is displayed using event information mapping, it is preceded by the hash mark and a space (# ).
To display a program-specific extended attribute using event information mapping, you need to map a display item to the program-specific extended attribute. For details about event information mapping, see 6.9.2 Displaying extended attributes of JP1 events (mapping of event information).
(4) JP1 event response status
You can display a response status icon indicating the event's response status (Processed, Processing, or Held) in the far-left column of the events displayed in the events list. For details about how to display response status icons, see 6.3.1 Settings for JP1 event response statuses.
If you are using the repeated event monitoring suppression function or the consolidated display of repeated events function, and the response status of a consolidated event is different from the response status of repeated events, ! is displayed.
