5.4.10 Configuring the function for outputting measurement values when alarms recover to the normal status

The function for outputting measurement values when alarms recover to the normal status enables you to output the alarm message texts when alarms for monitoring multi-instance records have recovered to their normal status. For details about this function, see the chapter that describes operation monitoring with alarms in the JP1/Performance Management User's Guide.

To use the function for outputting measurement values when alarms recover to the normal status, the following system versions are required; PFM - Web Console can be of any version:

PFM - Manager: 10-00 or later
PFM - Agent or PFM - RM subject to alarm monitoring: 08-00 or later
PFM - Manager or PFM - Base on the agent host: 10-00 or later

When you newly install PFM - Manager version 10-00 or later and earlier than 11-00 or upgrade PFM - Manager from version 09-00 or earlier to 10-00 or later, the function for outputting measurement values when alarms recover to the normal status is disabled by default. When you upgrade PFM - Manager from version 10-00 or later, the previous settings for the function for outputting measurement values when alarms recover to the normal status are inherited.

Configure the function for outputting measurement values when alarms recover to the normal status on the PFM - Manager host. This function is enabled if PFM - Agent or PFM - RM satisfies the version requirements described above and it is enabled on the PFM - Manager for the connection destination. The following table describes the settings for the function for outputting measurement values when alarms recover to the normal status on PFM - Agent and PFM - RM.

Version of PFM - Agent or PFM - RM	Version of PFM - Manager or PFM - Base on the same host	Settings for function for outputting measurement values when alarms recover to the normal status
Version of PFM - Agent or PFM - RM	Version of PFM - Manager or PFM - Base on the same host	Version of PFM - Manager for the connection destination is 10-00 or later	Version of PFM - Manager for the connection destination is earlier than 10-00
08-00 or later	10-00 or later	Depends on the settings on the PFM - Manager for the connection destination^#1	Disabled^#2
08-00 or later	Earlier than 10-00	Disabled^#3	Disabled^#3
Earlier than 08-00	Regardless of the version	Disabled^#3	Disabled^#3

#1

When the Agent Collector service or the Remote Monitor Collector service starts, the following message is output to the common message log on the PFM - Agent or PFM - RM host:

• If the function for outputting measurement values when alarms recover to the normal status was enabled when the service started: KAVE00349-I

• If the function for outputting measurement values when alarms recover to the normal status was disabled when the service started: KAVE00350-I

#2

When the Agent Collector service or the Remote Monitor Collector service starts, the KAVE00350-I message is output to the common message log on the PFM - Agent or PFM - RM host.

#3

No message on the settings for the function for outputting measurement values when alarms recover to the normal status is output to the common message log on the PFM - Agent or PFM - RM host.

To enable or disable the function for outputting measurement values when alarms recover to the normal status, directly edit the contents of the jpccomm.ini file on the PFM - Manager host. The jpccomm.ini file is stored at the following location:

Physical host

In UNIX:: /opt/jp1pc/

Logical host

In UNIX:: environment-directory/jp1pc/

Note

Depending on how the function for outputting measurement values when alarms recover to the normal status is set on the PFM - Manager host, the following message is output to the common log on the PFM - Manager host when the Name Server service starts:

When the function for outputting measurement values when alarms recover to the normal status is enabled: KAVE00349-I
When the function for outputting measurement values when alarms recover to the normal status is disabled: KAVE00350-I
A value other than 0 or 1 is specified in the Alarm Message Mode label in the jpccomm.ini file: KAVE00350-I and KAVE00351-W

Organization of this subsection

(1) Enabling the function for outputting measurement values when alarms recover to the normal status
(2) Disabling the function for outputting measurement values when alarms recover to the normal status

(1) Enabling the function for outputting measurement values when alarms recover to the normal status

To enable the function for outputting measurement values when alarms recover to the normal status:

Stop all PFM - Manager services.

If PFM - Manager services are running, use the jpcspm stop command to stop all such services. If you are running a cluster system, stop these services from the cluster software.
Use a text editor or a similar tool to open the jpccomm.ini file on the PFM - Manager host.
Specify whether the function for outputting measurement values when alarms recover to the normal status is to be enabled or disabled.

Change the value of the following label in the Common Section section in the jpccomm.ini file:
```
Alarm Message Mode=1
```
Save the jpccomm.ini file and then close it.
Use the jpcspm start command to start the PFM - Manager services.

If you are running a cluster system, start the services from the cluster software.
Restart all PFM - Agents and PFM - RMs.

Use the jpcspm stop and jpcspm start commands to restart all PFM - Agents and PFM - RMs that are monitoring operation. The new settings do not take effect until the PFM - Agents and PFM - RMs are restarted.

(2) Disabling the function for outputting measurement values when alarms recover to the normal status

To disable the function for outputting measurement values when alarms recover to the normal status:

Stop the PFM - Manager services.

If PFM - Manager services are running, use the jpcspm stop command to stop all such services. If you are running a cluster system, stop these services from the cluster software.
Use a text editor or a similar tool to open the jpccomm.ini file on the PFM - Manager host.
Specify whether the function for outputting measurement values when alarms recover to the normal status is to be enabled or disabled.

Change the value of the following label in the Common Section section in the jpccomm.ini file:
```
Alarm Message Mode=0
```
Save the jpccomm.ini file and then close it.
Use the jpcspm start command to start the PFM - Manager services.

If you are running a cluster system, start the services from the cluster software.
Restart all PFM - Agents and PFM - RMs.

Use the jpcspm stop and jpcspm start commands to restart all PFM - Agents and PFM - RMs that are monitoring operation. The new settings do not take effect until the PFM - Agents and PFM - RMs are restarted.
