6.10.7 Stopping, on the manager, a log file trap that issues a large numbers of events

The procedure described in this subsection shows how to stop a specific log file trap, by using IM Configuration Management on the manager, as an action to take when a large numbers of events are issued by the log file trap. For details about how to stop a specific log file trap without using IM Configuration Management, see the description about suppressing forwarding of large numbers of events in the JP1/Base User's Guide.

Before you can perform the procedure described in this subsection, IM Configuration Management must be used to manage the profile of the agent. For a general description of profile management using IM Configuration Management, see 7.5 Profile management in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Overview and System Design Guide. For details about how to set an agent's profile using IM Configuration Management, see 3.5 Setting the profiles in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Configuration Guide.

Also, mapping of the event source host must be enabled before you can perform the procedure described below. For details about how to enable mapping of the event source host, see 5.15 Setting event source host mapping in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Configuration Guide.

1. In the events list in the Event Console window, make sure that a large number of JP1 events issued by a log file trap are being output.

2. Display the Event Details window for the relevant JP1 event.

3. In the Event Details window, make sure that the event source host name and monitoring name^# are displayed for Event attributes.

   In the Event Details window, to display the monitoring name of a log file trap for Event attributes, JP1/IM - Manager must be version 10-50 or later, and JP1/Base on the agent must be version 10-50 or later.

4. Log in to the IM configuration management viewer (IM Configuration Management), and display the IM Configuration Management window.

   The Display/Edit Profiles window for the relevant host appears.

7. In the tree area, select JP1/Base, and then from the Edit menu, select Exclusive Editing Settings.

   Exclusive editing of the profile is permitted.

8. From Log File Trapping in the tree area, select the monitoring name of the log file trap you want to suppress, and then from the Operation menu, select Stop Process.

   A confirmation message is output, asking you whether to stop the log file trap.
