B.2 Verifying that you can monitor the extent of impact of events in map format and tree format
In the Monitoring Tree window and the Visual Monitoring window, check the extent of the impact of events. The following describes how to issue events on host A shown in 2.1 Overview of a basic configuration system.
Prerequisites
OS user mapping must be completed according to 4.2.1 Configuring user mapping.
Procedure
-
In the Event Console window, click the Execute Command button. The Execute Command window appears.
-
Follow the procedure in 4.2.2 Verifying that you can execute a command to set the items in the Execute Command window as described below, and then click the Execute button.
Item
Setting
Command type
Select Command of managed host.
Event information to inherit
Clear the Inherit event information check box.
Target host
Enter the following:
hostA
Command
Enter the following:
-
In Windows:
"Base-path\bin\jevsend" -e SEVERITY=Warning -m Warning Event Issued
-
In Linux:
/opt/jp1base/bin/jevsend -e SEVERITY=Warning -m Warning Event Issued
An event of severity level Warning is issued on host A.
-
-
Check the Monitoring Tree window and Visual Monitoring window.
Among the monitoring nodes, the status of the monitoring node on which the error occurred, and the monitoring group that includes that monitoring node, automatically change to the error status.
For this example, verify that host A and the monitoring group that includes host A change to yellow when an event of severity level Warning is issued.
