2.4.1 JP1/IM - Manager function list

Intelligent Integrated Management Base

Managing the System with System Configuration Information and JP1 Events

Uses data from the systems, such as relations between multiple systems, job management, operation monitoring, event management and performance information, to monitor the status of system configuration information.

• Intelligent Integrated Management Base servicing

• Intelligent Integrated Management Database servicing

• Integrated operation viewer

Integrated monitoring of systems with IM management node

Checks the operation status of the components (IM management node) of the monitored system displayed in integrated operation viewer hierarchically based on JP1 events. This enables integrated monitoring of the system.

Dashboard Visualizing IT SystemHealth

Graphically displays the performance data collected by IM management node status monitoring, alert information monitoring, and IT resource monitoring in a freeform layout.

Event display

Displays the events that occur on the monitored hosts in the event list of integrated operation viewer.

Related node indicator

Integrated operation viewer visualizes the connections of the components as related node and provides an at-a-glance view of multi-system relationships and system-wide status.

Trend information indicator

Displays trend information (job residence status, host-performance information) of IM management node or related node selected in integrated operation viewer. This helps you to proactively check issues and determine the cause of problems when they occur.

Linkage with other products

You can retrieve system configuration information from monitored products, such as JP1/IM - Agent, JP1/Base JP1/AJS, JP1/PFM, and monitor the data comprehensively of each product from integrated operation viewer.

Response action

Response action is proposed according to the status of the system. You can select a suggestion and run response action.

In addition, auto and manual execution feature of Response Action using JP1/IM - Agent provides a flexible and centralized way to operate and verify response action from integrated operation viewer.

Managing integrated agent
