4.5 Suppressing monitoring of a large number of events

If a large number of JP1 events occur and hinder normal monitoring of JP1 events, you can use the suppression of repeated-event monitoring by JP1/IM - Manager and the suppression of event forwarding by JP1/Base to resolve the problem.

If an event triggers occurrence of a large number of JP1 events, the JP1 events might fill the relevant event list and cause excessive commands (that are automatically executed as automated actions) to be executed. This would disable normal monitoring of JP1 events. The suppression of repeated-event monitoring provided by JP1/IM - Manager enables you to suppress the display of a large number of JP1 events in the event list and the execution of automated actions. The suppression of event forwarding provided by JP1/Base enables you to suppress event forwarding by executing a command on the host where a large number of events are occurring. This functionality is called the suppression of monitoring of a large number of events.

Suppressing the monitoring of a large number of events requires the following preconditions to be met:

• The integrated monitoring database has been set up and enabled (by jcoimdef -db ON).

• The suppression of repeated-event monitoring has been enabled (by jcoimdef -storm ON).

• The repeated event conditions to suppress the display of repeated events in the event list and the execution of automated actions have been applied.

For details about the jcoimdef command, see jcoimdef in 1. Commands in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 3 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.

For details about how to apply repeated event conditions, see 3.19 List of Repeated Event Conditions window in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 3 - Manager GUI Reference.

Suppressing the monitoring of a large number of events enables you to normally monitor the system even when a large number of JP1 events occur.

Repeated events, herein, means the JP1 events that meet a repeated event condition.
