6.10.8 Consolidated display when events with the same attributes occur consecutively
When you consolidate the display of repeated events, JP1 events that have the same content and that occur consecutively over a short period of time can be displayed as a single event on the Monitor Events page or Severe Events page of the Event Console window. You can configure the consolidated display of repeated events function in the Preferences window.
You cannot use the consolidated display of repeated events function concurrently with the event monitoring suppression function.
You can view detailed information about repeated events and consolidated events. You can also change response statuses similarly to the case in which repeated events are not being monitored. To change a response status, you need JP1_Console_Admin permissions or JP1_Console_Operator permissions.
For a general description of the consolidated display of repeated events function, see 4.4.10 Suppressing repeated-event display by the consolidated display of repeated events in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Overview and System Design Guide.
If you want to consolidate JP1 events that do not occur consecutively, or if you want to specify event conditions or certain criteria under which consolidation starts, use repeated event monitoring suppression instead of the consolidated display of repeated events. For details about repeated event monitoring suppression, see 6.10.4 Handling the occurrence of a large number of events by consolidating them on the manager.
