8.1.5 Monitoring suspension function and system linkage

(1) When using the monitoring suspension function in a multiple-monitoring environment

Only the primary manager can suspend or resume monitoring. Therefore, the settings that were specified on the primary manager need to be applied to the secondary manager. Enable the automatic synchronization options of the settings information for the monitoring suspension function in the startup information file (jpccomm.ini) to set the settings to be synchronized automatically.

For details about the automatic synchronization options of the settings information for the monitoring suspension function, see 8.3.2 Automatic synchronization options of the settings information for the monitoring suspension function (for multiple-monitoring).

(2) When using the monitoring suspension function in an environment with linkage with JP1/IM

For hosts or agents for which monitoring is suspended, only JP1 events related to monitoring suspension or resumption are issued. Targets for which JP1 events are not issued differ depending on the unit by which to suspend monitoring as follows.

When monitoring is suspended by the host

• JP1 events related to all the agents on the host are not issued.

• If you specify a host on which PFM - RM has been installed, JP1 events related to the remote agent are also not issued.

• If you specify a host on which PFM - Manager has been installed, JP1 events related to the services (Name Server, Master Manager, Master Store, Correlator, Trap Generator, and View Server) of PFM - Manager are issued.

When monitoring is suspended by the agent

• JP1 events related to the specified agent are not issued.

• If you specify PFM - RM, JP1 events related to the remote agent are also not issued.

Note that, if you suspend monitoring while a PFM service is stopped, a JP1 event might be issued when the service starts. Likewise, if you resume monitoring while a PFM service is stopped, a JP1 event might not be issued when the service starts.

(3) When using the monitoring suspension function in an environment with linkage with JP1/SLM

If you specify the settings so that operating information is not stored while monitoring is suspended, the operating information of the suspended agent is not sent to JP1/SLM. Note that, if there is operating information that failed to be sent before monitoring was suspended, the operating information is retransmitted.

After monitoring is resumed, operating information for which delta values are sent is calculated based on the values before monitoring is suspended. Note that, a record with settings in which real-time reports are displayed in temporary log mode is calculated based on the values collected for real-time reports.

For details about operating information that is sent to JP1/SLM, see 13.2.5 Recording performance data collected when linked with JP1/SLM.
