2.3.3 JP1 events acquired by JP1/Base

JP1 events issued by JP1 programs

JP1/Base can acquire JP1 events issued by any JP1 program. It can also recognize JP1 events with the extended event attributes recognized by JP1/SES, a pre-version 5 program. JP1/Base can also acquire any events that can be acquired by JP1/IM (also a pre-version 5 program).

For details on these events, see the manual for the relevant product.

Events acquired by pre-version 5 programs (JP1/SES and JP1/AJS) (events in the JP1/SES format)

In UNIX systems, JP1/Base can acquire events issued by programs in the JP1 series and user applications, as well as log file events, Console message events, and syslog message events. JP1/Base can also acquire events issued by JP1/SES (a pre-version 5 product) running on UNIX, and events issued via commands executed in JP1/AJS (a pre-version 5 product) running on Windows NT.

Note:

While JP1 events have basic and extended attributes, events in the JP1/SES format have basic attributes only. To display JP1/SES format events in the Event Console window of JP1/IM, you must change the JP1/IM settings or assign extended attributes to the events. For details, see J.4 Converting JP1/SES events into JP1 events.

JP1 events submitted to an event server by the jevsend or jevsendd commands

You can register JP1 events on an event server by executing the jevsend or jevsendd command. Unlike the jevsend command, the jevsendd command allows you to check whether the JP1 event has been registered on the event server. If you want JP1 events registered with the event server by the jevsend or jevsendd commands to appear in the Event Console window of JP1/IM - View, you must give the events a severity extended attribute.

For details on these commands, see jevsend and jevsendd in 15. Commands.

By using the JP1 event issuing function, you can issue JP1 events directly from a user application. A user application can also acquire events directly by using the JP1 event acquisition function. For details, see the manual JP1/Base Function Reference.

Log files for application programs

JP1/Base can acquire JP1 events converted from information output to the log file of an application program. For details on the conversion process, see 11.1 Converting application program log files.

Windows event logs

JP1/Base can acquire JP1 events converted from information output to Windows event logs. For details on the conversion process, see 11.2 Converting Windows event logs.

SNMP traps managed by JP1/Cm2/NNM or HP NNM

JP1/Base can obtain JP1 events converted from SNMP traps managed by JP1/Cm2/NNM version 8 (or earlier) or HP NNM version 7.5 (or earlier). For details on the conversion process, see I. Converting SNMP Traps.
