6.10.2 Preparing to suppress event forwarding from an agent

As part of the preparation to suppress event forwarding from an agent, set up command buttons to suppress event forwarding or cancel suppression. By setting up command buttons, you can reduce the number of command inputs required of the administrator when a large number of events need to be handled, thereby preventing operational mistakes.

The following describes the command buttons that can be set up and what each one does.

All supp button

This is used when a large number of events occur on an agent.
Before the command can be executed, a confirmation message appears, and the administrator must confirm execution.
With regard to selecting an agent, the administrator selects a single event in the Console window of JP1/IM - View, and the host name is automatically extracted from it.

Cns supp button

Operation is based on a trigger such as completion of a corrective action following an error, after which monitoring (forwarding) of events from the applicable agent resumes.
Before the command can be executed, a confirmation message appears, and the administrator must confirm execution.
With regard to selecting an agent, the administrator selects a single event in the Console window of JP1/IM - View, and the host name is automatically extracted from it.

Chk supp button

This displays for confirmation the forwarding suppression status of a large number of events.

The following conditions are required for command execution:

The JP1 user who executes the command from JP1/IM - View is registered in the authentication server.
The JP1 user who executes the command from JP1/IM - View has either of the following JP1 permissions:
- JP1_Console_Admin
- JP1_Console_Operator
The system configuration is defined using JP1/Base configuration management.
JP1 users and OS users are mapped on the manager host.
OS users mapped with JP1 users have execute permissions for the jevagtfw command on the manager host.

For details about the jevagtfw command, see the chapter on commands in the JP1/Base User's Guide.

For details about how to set up a command execution environment, see 1.15 Setting up a command execution environment (for Windows) or 2.14 Setting up a command execution environment (for UNIX) in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Configuration Guide.

Organization of this subsection

(1) Setting up command buttons for manually suppressing event forwarding

(1) Setting up command buttons for manually suppressing event forwarding

Terminate all instances of JP1/IM - View that are connected to JP1/IM - Manager.
Execute the jcoimdef command to enable the command buttons.

Command specification example
```
jcoimdef -i -cmdbtn ON
```
In the command execution result, confirm that S_CMDBTN is ON. Since the -i option is specified, command buttons are enabled immediately after command execution.

Set up the commands to be used as command buttons.

Create a command button definition file.

Definition example (for Windows)

def
 usr name-of-JP1-user-who-uses-the-command-button
 
 btn All supp
  cmt Suppresses forwarding of all events from the applicable agent
  cmdtype agent
  inev true
  hst manager-host-name
  cmd "Base-path\bin\jevagtfw.exe" -s -o all $EVHOST
  qui false
  preview true
 end-btn
 
 btn Cns supp
  cmt Cancels suppression of forwarding of all events from the applicable agent
  cmdtype agent
  inev true
  hst manager-host-name
  cmd "Base-path\bin\jevagtfw.exe" -r -f $EVHOST
  qui false
  preview true
 end-btn
 
 btn Chk supp
  cmt Confirms event forwarding suppression status
  cmdtype agent
  inev false
  hst manager-host-name
  cmd "Base-path\bin\jevagtfw.exe" -l
  qui false
  preview true
 end-btn
 
end-def

For $EVHOST in the definition example, the event-issuing host name of the event selected in the Console window of JP1/IM - View is assigned.

For UNIX, replace Base-path\bin\jevagtfw.exe with /opt/jp1base/bin/jevagtfw.

Start the Console window of JP1/IM - View.
Confirm that the command buttons that were set in the Execute Command window are displayed.

To display the Execute Command window, click the Execute Command button in the Event Console window.
