6.1.2 Events displayed in the events list in the Event Console window

Types of events displayed on the screen:

Events displayed on the screen are normal JP1 events, consolidated events (including events being consolidated and consolidation completion events), and correlation events.

Consolidated events

The number of repetitions or a plus sign (+) indicating that consolidation is in progress appears in Summary status.

For details about displaying consolidated events, see 6.1.2(1) Displaying consolidated events in the events list.
Correlation events

The icon or is displayed in Type.

For details about displaying correlation events, see 6.1.2(2) Displaying correlation events in the events list.

Number of events that can be displayed on the screen:

The number of events that can be displayed on the screen is the value specified in Scroll Buffer in the Preferences window. The maximum number of JP1 events that can be displayed is 2,000.

If you use the integrated monitoring database, you can display all events saved in the integrated monitoring database. You can use the slider to adjust the event display start-time located in the event display start-time specification area, or by specifying a date and time. 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.

When the number of JP1 events exceeds the number of JP1 events that can be displayed, the following operation takes place:

Monitor Events page

Regardless of its response status, the JP1 event with the earliest arrival time is erased.

Severe Events page

Even if its response status is Processed, the JP1 event with the earliest arrival time is erased.

If there are Processed severe events, the JP1 event with the earliest arrival time is erased regardless of its response status.

Even those JP1 events that are erased from the screen are registered in the event database. To view the JP1 events that have been erased from the screen, search for JP1 events. For details about how to search for JP1 events, see 6.8 Searching for JP1 events.

JP1 events that are displayed when the screen starts:

JP1 events that are displayed when the screen is started are the latest JP1 events that satisfy either of the following conditions:

JP1 events that occurred after the logged-in manager started but before the screen was started
JP1 events that were acquired from the event database beginning from the event acquisition start time set by the jcoimdef command until startup of the currently logged-in manager.

The number of JP1 events that are displayed when the screen is started is limited to one of the following values, whichever is smaller:

The value specified in Event Buffer in the System Environment Settings window (event buffer count)
The value specified in Scroll Buffer in the Preferences window (scroll buffer count)

Note that the JP1 event count also includes the communication events^# used internally. Therefore, during the initial display, the number of JP1 events displayed may not reach the upper limit.

#: Communication event: A communication event is internally generated when the response status of a severe event is changed or deleted, or when an automated action is executed and is not displayed on the screen.

Updating the events list:

The events list is updated at a user-specified updating interval, and displays the latest JP1 events. However, if automatic updating is not set up, the latest JP1 events are not displayed even when the screen is started. To display the latest JP1 events in such a case, from the View menu, choose Refresh.

Specify whether to automatically refresh the screen, and the automatic refresh interval, in the Preferences window.

Organization of this subsection

(1) Displaying consolidated events in the events list
(2) Displaying correlation events in the events list

(1) Displaying consolidated events in the events list

After JP1 events have been consolidated by the repeated event monitoring suppression function or the consolidated display of repeated events function, consolidated events are displayed in the events list.

Figure 6‒2: Example of consolidated display of consolidated events

Summary Status

Summary Status shows the number of repetitions. The number of repetitions is the sum total of the number of consolidated events plus the number of repeated events. No data is displayed for non-consolidated events.

Consolidation completion events

The number of repetitions is displayed.

If suppression of repeated event monitoring is set, the number of repetitions to be displayed is from 1 to 1,000,000.

If repeated event consolidated display is set, the number of repetitions to be displayed is from 1 to 100.
Events being consolidated

The number of repetitions is displayed, together with a plus sign (+) indicating that consolidation is in progress.

For example, if the number of repetitions is 1 (only the consolidation start event), 1+ is displayed. If the number of repetitions is 2 (the consolidation start event and a repeated event), 2+ is displayed. On the Severe Events page, if the consolidation start event has already been deleted and there is no repeated event, 0+ is displayed.

The following is displayed when a consolidated event is deleted.

When the consolidation start event is deleted

In the Event Console window, if you delete the consolidation start event on the Severe Events page, that event is displayed as deleted and Del is displayed to the right of the number of repetitions.

Subsequently, if event consolidation is completed and the event becomes a deleted non-consolidated event, it is no longer displayed on the Severe Events page of the Event Console window.
When a repeated event is deleted

If you are using the consolidated display of repeated events function and you delete a repeated event from Related Events in the Related Events (Summary) window, the number of repetitions for consolidated events is reduced by the number of deleted events.

If the number of repetitions of consolidation completion events reaches 1 as a result of deletion of repeated events, that one event becomes a non-consolidated event. Furthermore, if that non-consolidated event has already been deleted, it is no longer displayed on the Severe Events page of the Event Console window.

If you are using the repeated event monitoring suppression function, deleting a repeated event does not reduce the number of repetitions of consolidated events.

Response status display

A response status icon indicating the response status of a JP1 event is displayed in the far-left column.

The response status icon types and contents are the same as those displayed on the Monitor Events page and the Severe Events page of the Event Console window.

When you use the repeated event monitoring suppression function, an exclamation mark (!) is displayed if the 1st (the consolidation event) to 100th repeated events do not all have the same response status. If more than 100 events are consolidated, a different status among the 101st and subsequent events does not cause the exclamation mark (!) to appear.

[Figure]

Action

When the function for suppressing automated actions is being used, an icon indicating the action suppression status is displayed in the Event Console window.

Table 6‒2: Action suppression status
Action suppression status	Explanation
	Action that was not suppressed
	Action that was suppressed
	Action that was partially suppressed

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

When the action status of a consolidated event is different from the action status of a repeated event, an exclamation mark (!) is displayed as the action suppression status.

[Figure]

Type

If a large number of events occur while events are being suppressed by the repeated event monitoring suppression function, the icon [Figure] appears in the Event Console window.

Pages in the Event Console window

If a large number of events occur while events are being suppressed by the repeated event monitoring suppression function, the icon [Figure] appears on each page of the Event Console window.

(2) Displaying correlation events in the events list

Correlation events are displayed on the Monitor Events page, Severe Events page, and Search Events page of the Event Console window.

For a correlation event, an icon is displayed in Type.

Either the correlation succeeded icon [Figure] or the correlation failed icon is displayed.

Note that Type is not a default display item. To display it, you must specify Type as a display item in the Preferences window. For details, see 3.24 Preferences window in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager GUI Reference.
