13.1.1 Considerations for event management using JP1 events
Consider how to set up JP1/IM to manage system events using JP1 events.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Linkage with programs that issue JP1 events
A JP1/IM system can use JP1 events issued by products in the JP1 series or by any other program capable of issuing JP1 events.
Some programs require special settings to issue JP1 events. For details, see the documentation for the product concerned.
(2) Using JP1 event-issuing commands
If you have a program that does not issue JP1 events, consider using the JP1 event-issuing commands (jevsend and jevsendd) to do so. These two commands differ in whether JP1 event registration is verified. For details, see below.

See the description of the jevsend command and jevsendd command in the JP1/Base User's Guide.

(3) Converting non-JP1 events
If you want to monitor an event that is output in any of the following forms, you can use an event converter to convert it into a JP1 event that can be managed by JP1/IM:
-
Message in a log file
-
SNMP trap
-
Windows event log entry
