1.2 What is explained in this manual
-
Emails sent by JP1/OA
-
Requests from customers or operators to check the operational status or to look into a problem
- Event information from JP1/IM
If a problem occurred in the IT base system, use JP1/OA to do the following:
-
Analyze the bottleneck
-
Analyze the impact and problem severity
-
Analyze the cause
If you are monitoring applications, do the following in addition to the above analyses:
-
Analyze the relevance of events that occurred in an application, and identify the event that causes a problem.
-
Analyze the relevance between the identified event and user resource performance information.
The resources to be used in the analyses and the workflow for the analyses using those resources are as follows:
-
Consumers use user resources directly or through applications.
-
User resources use system resources.
- JP1/OA monitors, through JP1/IM and JP1/PFM, the operational status of applications to check whether they operate normally.
-
JP1/OA monitors user resources and system resources. JP1/OA monitors user resources by using service level metrics and monitors system resources based on performance data.
-
JP1/OA uses this monitoring information to analyze problems.
