5.4.4 Setting the Central Scope monitoring windows

Two main tasks are involved in setting the monitoring windows of the Central Scope (Monitoring Tree window and Visual Monitoring window): editing the windows on the viewer, and connecting to the manager to update or acquire the existing settings.

Figure 5‒16: Setting the Central Scope monitoring windows

• Editing the monitoring windows (tasks on the viewer host)

  Edit information in the Monitoring Tree (Editing) window and Visual Monitoring (Editing) window on the viewer host. You do not need to connect to the manager (JP1/IM - Manager (Central Scope)) to perform these tasks.

  Required permissions:

  Any user who can log in to the operating system is able to perform editing. No particular JP1 user permissions are required.

• Acquiring and updating monitoring window settings (processing after connecting to the manager host)

  Processing of the following operations is performed after you log in to the server (manager):

  • Auto-generate a monitoring tree

  • Acquire the existing settings of a monitoring tree

  • Save edited monitoring tree settings

  • Acquire the existing settings of the Visual Monitoring window

  • Save the settings edited in the Visual Monitoring window

  • Acquire update data for the common condition of a status change condition

  To perform the above operations, you must log in to JP1/IM - Manager (Central Scope). When the Login window appears, log in as a JP1 user.^#

  Required permissions:

  The JP1 user who logs in to JP1/IM - Manager (Central Scope) requires the following permissions:

  • JP1 resource group: JP1_Console

  • JP1 permission level: JP1_Console_Admin

  A JP1 user who wants to auto-generate a monitoring tree must log in as the jp1admin user.

  This is because a permission other than JP1_Console_Admin might be required to access definition information for a linked product during auto-generation. (If the jp1admin user has been deleted for operational reasons, the JP1 user will require a permission level that allows access to the definition information of the linked product. For example, to acquire JP1/AJS jobnet information, the JP1 user will require a permission level that grants jobnet access.)

  #: If you have checked the Save Login Information command in the File menu of the Monitoring Tree (Editing) window, your login user name, password, and host name are preserved until you log out, and the Login window does not appear during subsequent operations to connect to the server.

Before you perform settings in a monitoring window of the Central Scope, make sure that you know the jp1admin user password, or the password and user name of the JP1 user who has JP1_Console_Admin permission.

Important

When you update the server to apply the changed settings in the Monitoring Tree (Editing) window, the status of all monitoring nodes and status change events is initialized.
