14.2.1 Considerations for monitoring trees
Using a monitoring tree, you can monitor the system by grouping resources according to the viewpoints required by the system administrator and displaying them in a tree format.
A monitoring tree can be easily generated using the auto-generation and editing functions.
To generate a monitoring tree, select a purpose-built template in the Auto-generation - Select Configuration window. JP1/IM provides the following monitoring tree models:
-
Work-oriented tree
-
Server-oriented tree
For details, see the following references.

Auto-generation of a monitoring tree
See 5.3 Automatically generating a monitoring tree.
- Note
-
By setting JP1 resource groups for specific nodes, you can set up the following controls:
-
Restrict the range of resources (monitoring nodes) that individual JP1 users can view and monitor
For example, you can permit a user who has jp1admin permission to monitor the entire system, but allow users with jp1ope permission to monitor only part of the system.
-
Precisely control operations on displayed monitoring nodes to meet your objectives
For example, you can permit response operations (status changes) on specific monitoring nodes, but allow viewing only on particular nodes.
For details about setting JP1 resource groups for monitoring nodes, see 5.4.3 Setting the monitoring range of a monitoring tree.
For a JP1 user who is to be registered with JP1/Base (authentication server), the account settings in JP1/Base (JP1 resource group setting) must match the setting in the Central Scope. For details, see the chapter on setting up user management in the JP1/Base User's Guide.

(1) Notes
-
If you automatically generate a work-oriented or server-oriented monitoring tree for monitoring a Cosminexus system environment, the resulting tree will be unable to acquire information from databases that run under Cosminexus such as HiRDB. To monitor a database as a logical server in a Cosminexus environment, you must manually add the database information to the monitoring tree.
The following figure shows how you can add database information to a monitoring tree, using HiRDB as an example.
Figure 14‒20: Example of adding database information to a monitoring tree ![[Figure]](GRAPHICS/CS061600.GIF)
With HiRDB 07-02 or later, you can use the system-monitoring object provided by the Central Scope to add the database information to the tree. For all other databases, create a general monitoring object and define the monitoring conditions as required.
