6.10.4 Handling the occurrence of a large number of events by consolidating them on the manager

(1) Adding a repeated event condition based on an event that occurred during system operation

In the Repeated Event Condition Settings window, you can suppress repeated event monitoring using the conditions of a repeated event that has occurred during system operation. Conditions added in this manner are called added repeated event conditions.

1. In the events list in the Event Console window, select the JP1 event whose monitoring you want to suppress.

2. From the View menu in the Event Console window, choose Suppress by Repeated Event Conditions to display the Repeated Event Condition Settings window. Alternatively, right-click and from the popup menu that appears, choose Suppress by Repeated Event Conditions.

   The Repeated Event Condition Settings window appears, with the attributes of the JP1 event you selected in step 1 already filled in as the repeated event conditions.

   You can change what attributes are automatically filled in by editing the auto-input definition file for the repeated event condition (event_storm_auto_list.conf). For details about the auto-input display item definition file for the repeated event condition, see Auto-input definition file for the repeated event condition (event_storm_auto_list.conf) in Chapter 2. Definition Files of the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.

3. Edit the items in the Repeated Event Condition Settings window as needed.

4. Click the OK button.

   The repeated event condition that you added appears in the List of Repeated Event Conditions window. The icon appears in the Type column for repeated event conditions added during system operation.

   Events that satisfy the set condition are excluded from repeated event monitoring. For details about how to start suppression of monitoring, see 4.5.4 When the suppression of monitoring of a large number of events starts in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Overview and System Design Guide.
