16.5 Detecting problems by linking with the integrated system monitoring product
The JP1/Base log file trapping function can be used to change the contents of Performance Management's common message log to JP1 events. Therefore, when a problem occurs within Performance Management, the problem can be detected with JP1/IM by issuing a JP1 event.
However, to detect problems other than those that occur within Performance Management, we recommend that you use the health check function. For details on the health check function, see 16.2 Using the health check function to check the operating status of monitoring agents and their hosts.
The following subsections describe the steps to link Performance Management with the JP1/Base log file trapping function and issue a JP1 event.
