6.10.4 Handling the occurrence of a large number of events by consolidating them on the manager
By setting a repeated event condition based on events that occur during system operation, you can consolidate and display JP1 events that satisfy a condition in the events list, and you can suppress execution of automatic actions. This subsection explains how to use this method for handling the occurrence of a large number of events.
Note that changing the response status requires JP1_Console_Admin permissions or JP1_Console_Operator permissions.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Adding a repeated event condition based on an event that occurred during system operation
In the Repeated Event Condition Settings window, you can suppress repeated event monitoring using the conditions of a repeated event that has occurred during system operation. Conditions added in this manner are called added repeated event conditions.
-
In the events list in the Event Console window, select the JP1 event whose monitoring you want to suppress.
-
From the View menu in the Event Console window, choose Suppress by Repeated Event Conditions to display the Repeated Event Condition Settings window. Alternatively, right-click and from the popup menu that appears, choose Suppress by Repeated Event Conditions.
The Repeated Event Condition Settings window appears, with the attributes of the JP1 event you selected in step 1 already filled in as the repeated event conditions.
You can change what attributes are automatically filled in by editing the auto-input definition file for the repeated event condition (event_storm_auto_list.conf). For details about the auto-input display item definition file for the repeated event condition, see Auto-input definition file for the repeated event condition (event_storm_auto_list.conf) in Chapter 2. Definition Files of the JP1/Integrated Management 3 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.
-
Edit the items in the Repeated Event Condition Settings window as needed.
-
Click the OK button.
The repeated event condition that you added appears in the List of Repeated Event Conditions window. The
icon appears in the Type column for repeated event conditions added during system operation.
Events that satisfy the set condition are excluded from repeated event monitoring. For details about how to start suppression of monitoring, see 4.5.4 When the suppression of monitoring of a large number of events starts in the JP1/Integrated Management 3 - Manager Overview and System Design Guide.
(2) Reviewing the repeated event condition setting
Review the repeated event condition that is specified. For details, see 6.10.6 Specifying repeated event conditions.
(3) Converting an added repeated event condition to a regular repeated event condition
To convert a repeated event condition that was added during system operations to a regular repeated event condition:
-
In the Event Console window, from the Options menu, choose Repeated Event Condition Settings to display the Repeated Event Condition Settings window.
-
In the List of repeated event conditions area in the List of Repeated Event Conditions window, select the added repeated event condition (a condition with the
icon in the Type column) that you want to convert to a regular repeated event condition.
-
Click Type.
-
A confirmation message appears. To apply the settings, click Yes.
The selected repeated event condition that you added is converted to a regular repeated event condition.
-
In the List of Repeated Event Conditions window, click Apply.
-
A confirmation message appears. To apply the change, click Yes.
The repeated event condition that you added takes effect.
