2.4 Converting log messages and event log data into JP1 events

Using the JP1/Base event service, you can convert log messages and event logs, and manage them as JP1 events.

JP1/Base enables the following event conversion:

Log file trapping

Converts information output to a log file of an application program into JP1 events.

Event log trapping (Windows only)

Converts information output to Windows event logs into JP1 events.

For details about conversion to JP1 events from SNMP traps managed by JP1/Cm2/NNM version 8 (or earlier) or HP NNM version 7.5 (or earlier), see Appendix I. Converting SNMP Traps.
