6.10 Taking actions for the generation of a large number of events

The following two methods are available for handling the occurrence of a large number of JP1 events.

Suppressing event forwarding from an agent (JP1/Base function for suppressing event forwarding)

You can suppress event forwarding from an agent on which a large number of JP1 events have occurred and stop monitoring of the agent.

Consolidating the events on the manager (JP1/IM - Manager's repeated event monitoring suppression function)

By setting a repeated event condition, you can consolidate and display JP1 events that satisfy a condition in the events list, and you can suppress execution of automatic actions.

The next subsection explains the general procedures for handling a large number of events by using each of these methods.

We recommend that you establish an operational procedure to determine beforehand the method to use for handling the occurrence of a large number of JP1 events.

For an overview of suppressing monitoring of a large number of events, see 4.5.1 Mechanism of the suppression of monitoring of a large number of events in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Overview and System Design Guide.

Also review the settings for JP1 events to be forwarded from JP1/Base to the manager, as well as the settings for JP1 event filtering on the manager. For details about the settings for JP1 events forwarded from JP1/Base, see 12.1.2 Considerations for forwarding JP1 events to managers in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Overview and System Design Guide. For details about the settings for event filtering on the manager, see 12.1.3 Considerations for filtering JP1 events in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Overview and System Design Guide.

Before you can handle a large number of events by using the method that consolidates events on the manager, you need to build the integrated monitoring database, enable it, and enable suppression of repeated event monitoring on the manager. For details, see 5.3 Setting monitoring of repeated events to be prevented in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Configuration Guide.
