3.31 Detailed Settings for Event Receiver Filter window

The Detailed Settings for Event Receiver Filter window is used to specify the filter conditions of an event receiver filter. This window is displayed by performing the following operations:

If no conditions (items under Conditions) have been specified for one or more of the pass-conditions groups set in this window, all JP1 events will be displayed (acquired). On the other hand, if no conditions (items under Conditions) have been specified for one or more of the exclusion-conditions groups set in this window, no JP1 events will be displayed (acquired). At least one condition must be specified for each condition group in order to filter events.

The following figure shows an example of the Detailed Settings for Event Receiver Filter window.

Note

Some of the items displayed in the Detailed Settings for Event Receiver Filter window change if linkage with BJEX or JP1/AS is enabled. For details on the contents of the Detailed Settings for Event Receiver Filter window when linkage with BJEX or JP1/AS is enabled, see 3.44.8 Filter condition definition windows.

The following describes the items displayed in the Detailed Settings for Event Receiver Filter window.

Filter name

Specifies the name of an event receiver filter. The conditions set for a filter are identified by the name specified in this area. The number of characters that you can enter is from 1 to 30,000 bytes.

The name specified here is listed in the Specifications area of the Settings for Event Receiver Filter window.

User name

Specifies the names of the users to which the restrictions imposed by the event receiver filter apply. Multiple user names require a comma as a separator. The number of characters that you can enter is from 1 to 30,000 bytes.

Show List (or Hide List)

Clicking the Show List button displays the list of condition groups. When the list is displayed, the button changes to the Hide List button, which, if clicked, hides the list.

Pass-conditions groups

This area displays the list of pass-conditions groups. If the user selects a condition group from the list, the name of the selected group is displayed in the Condition group name area, and the condition settings are displayed in the Conditions area. The user can edit these condition settings.

A maximum of 30 condition groups can be set. When 30 condition groups have been specified, the Add and Copy buttons are disabled.

Exclusion-conditions groups

This area displays the list of exclusion-conditions groups. If the user selects a condition group from the list, the name of the selected group is displayed in the Condition group name area, and the condition settings are displayed in the Conditions area. The user can edit these condition settings.

A maximum of 30 condition groups can be set. When 30 condition groups have been specified, the Add and Copy buttons are disabled.

Add

Clicking this button adds a new condition group. For pass-conditions groups, the default name Condition group n (n is a number) is assigned to the new pass-conditions group that is added. For exclusion-conditions groups, the default name Exclusion-condition group n (n is a number) is assigned to the new exclusion-conditions group that is added. Each time a new condition group is added, the focus moves to the text box in the Condition group name area so that the user can assign a name.

Copy

Clicking this button copies the selected condition group. When the user selects a condition group and clicks this button, a new condition group in which the same conditions as those defined in the selected condition group is created. The new condition group that is created is assigned the default name Copy original-condition-group-name, and is added to the list of condition groups. After creating a copy of a condition group, if the user creates another copy of the same condition group, a number is added after the string Copy in CopyN original-condition-group-name (N is a number). The first number used is 2, which is incremented each time the same condition group is copied. Note that each time a new condition group is added to the list, the focus moves to the text box in the Condition group name area so that the user can assign a name.

Delete

Clicking this button deletes the selected condition group. When this button is clicked, a message dialog box displaying the following message appears:

KAVB0257-I

Clicking the Yes button in the message dialog box deletes the selected condition group.

Condition group name

This box is used to specify the name of a condition group. The number of characters that you can enter is from 1 to 50 bytes.

If the user selects an existing condition group in the Pass-conditions groups or Exclusion-conditions group area and specifies a new name, the condition group is renamed. The same name cannot be specified for a pass-conditions group and an exclusion-conditions group.

If the user attempts to specify a condition group name that already appears in the Pass-conditions groups or Exclusion-conditions group area, a message dialog box displaying the following message appears:

KAVB0256-E The specified condition group name already exists.

Clear

Clicking this button clears all condition settings displayed under Conditions.

Read From Selected Event

Clicking this button applies the attribute values of the JP1 event selected in the Event Console window to the corresponding items under Conditions. The following describes how the attribute values are applied:

  • When an event attribute value includes a control character (such as a linefeed or tab character)

    The part before the first control character is applied. If an option condition can be specified for the event attribute, First characters is selected.

  • When an event attribute value does not include a control character

    The entire event attribute value is applied. If an option condition can be specified for the event attribute, Match is selected.

If the information of the selected JP1 event is mapped in the Event-Information Mapping Definitions window, the attribute values for the display items and program-specific extended attribute values that have been mapped are not applied. For details about the Event-Information Mapping Definitions window, see 6.9.2 Displaying extended attributes of JP1 events (mapping of event information) in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Administration Guide.

Source host

Specifies the name of a host (event server name) that issues a JP1 event. Multiple host names require a comma as a separator. A maximum of 100 host names can be specified. If a character string that includes a comma (,) or backslash (\) is specified, a backslash (\) must be added before the comma (\,) or backslash (\\). A linefeed or tab character cannot be specified.

Alphabetic characters are case sensitive.

However, if ON is set for the -ignorecasehost option of the jcoimdef command, case is ignored (if Regular expression is not selected in the drop-down list on the right).

From the drop-down list on the right, the user selects a condition for the specified character strings from First characters, Match, Does not match, Is contained, Is not contained, and Regular expression.

For Source host, if the integrated monitoring database and the IM Configuration Management database are enabled, a business group name can also be specified in path format. Either Match or Does not match can be selected as a condition. If these databases are disabled and the selected condition is not Match or Does not match, a business group name specified in path format is treated as a host name.

Event level

Specifies the event severity levels from Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Notice, Information, and Debug.

Object type

Specifies the object type of a JP1 event. The character string can be typed in the text box or selected from the drop-down list.

Status

Specifies the event statuses of JP1 events. If the user selects Processed, only events whose status is set to Processed are filtered. If the user selects Unprocessed, only events whose status is set to Unprocessed are filtered.

Action

For JP1 events for which an automated action is defined, this item enables a search based on whether the defined automated action has been executed.

When linkage with JP1/IM - Rule Operation has been set up, the Action area is expanded to display the additional options shown below.

[Figure]

When linkage with JP1/IM - Rule Operation has been set up, the action type can be specified as a filter condition. For details about the setup for linkage with JP1/IM - Rule Operation, see 10.3.1 Settings for enabling the JP1/IM - Rule Operation linkage function in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Configuration Guide.

Extended attribute

Displays the window for setting the condition whether to use the program-specific extended attribute value to perform filtering. To set the condition, select the Extended attribute check box. If you select this check box, the Configure button becomes available. If you click the Configure button, the Event Search Conditions (Program-Specific Information in Extended Attribute) window is displayed, and you can set the condition.

For details about this window, see 3.26 Event Search Conditions (Program-Specific Information in Extended Attribute) window.

If the mapping of the event source host is enabled, the following item is also displayed:

Event source host name

[Figure]

Specifies the name of the host on which an event that triggered issuance of a JP1 event occurred. How to specify multiple hosts is the same as the Source host field.

Alphabetic characters are case sensitive. However, if ON is set for the -ignorecasehost option of the jcoimdef command, case is ignored (if Regular expression is not selected in the drop-down list on the right).

From the drop-down list on the right, the user selects a condition for the specified character strings from First characters, Match, Does not match, Is contained, Is not contained, and Regular expression.

For Event source host name, if the integrated monitoring database and the IM Configuration Management database are enabled, a business group name can also be specified in path format. Either Match or Does not match can be selected as a condition. If these databases are disabled and the selected condition is not Match or Does not match, a business group name specified in path format is treated as a host name.

For details on the event source host mapping function, see 4.9 Mapping of the event source hosts in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Overview and System Design Guide.
