This section explains how Systemwalker Operation Manager can link to Systemwalker Centric Manager. For more information (such as procedures for setting up the environment and other notes), refer to the Systemwalker Operation Manager Installation Guide.
Monitoring job net execution status
Linking to Systemwalker Centric Manager makes it possible to monitor the execution status of job nets in medium- and large-scale systems from Systemwalker Centric Manager.
There are three monitoring methods, as shown below.
With each of these methods, the execution status of job nets can be monitored in the system monitoring window of Systemwalker Centric Manager.
Monitoring when job nets terminate abnormally or restart
If a Systemwalker Operation Manager job net terminates abnormally, the job net is displayed in the System Monitoring window of Systemwalker Centric Manager. Information about the job net that terminated can be sent using the mail notification action for event monitoring.
When the job net that has terminated abnormally is restarted or confirmed, its execution status automatically changes to "resolved" in the System Monitoring window of Systemwalker Centric Manager.
Monitoring by displaying the monitoring window for job nets that have terminated abnormally
By selecting a job net abnormal termination event from the event list in the System Monitoring window of Systemwalker Centric Manager, the monitoring window for the job net can be displayed directly without opening the Systemwalker Operation Manager window.
This procedure only works if all Systemwalker Operation Manager servers and clients and all Systemwalker Centric Manager Operation Management Servers and Operation Management Clients are running V12.0L10/12.1 or later.
If the version of the Systemwalker Operation Manager server, Systemwalker Centric Manager Operation Management Server, and Systemwalker Centric Manager Operation Management Client is V13.4.0 or later, the Web Console monitoring window will be displayed.
If any version of the Systemwalker Operation Manager server, Systemwalker Centric Manager Operation Management Server, or the Systemwalker Centric Manager Operation Management Client is V13.3.1 or earlier and the Systemwalker Operation Manager client function has been installed, then the Windows client Monitor Job Net window will be displayed.
If the version of the Systemwalker Operation Manager server, Systemwalker Centric Manager Operation Management Server is V13.4.0 or later, users in the Systemwalker authentication directory can be used.
Monitoring by outputting job net execution histories to the event log or SYSLOG
The execution status of job nets that have been output to the event log or SYSLOG is displayed in the System Monitoring window of Systemwalker Centric Manager. Information about the job net that terminated can be sent using the mail notification action for event monitoring.
The job net execution statuses to be monitored can be selected from the following list using environment settings. The level shown in parentheses indicates the level of each event log message (Windows version) or SYSLOG message (UNIX version).
Started (information level or "INFO" level)
Completed (information level or "INFO" level)
Abended ("Resolved" is not shown automatically after restart.) (Error level or "ERR" level)
Skipped (Warning level or "WARNING" level)
Canceled (Error level or "ERROR" level)
Closed (Error level or "ERROR" level)
Refused (Warning level or "WARNING" level)
Pseudo-normal (information level or "INFO" level)
For information about how to set up the environment, refer to the Systemwalker Operation Manager Installation Guide.
Centrally managing audit log files
Systemwalker Operation Manager can manage audit logs centrally on the Operation Management Server by linking to Systemwalker Centric Manager and using the Systemwalker Centric Manager Audit Log Management function to collect records of the operations performed on Systemwalker Operation Manager servers.
Security can be improved by using the Audit Log Management function in the following kinds of situations:
To manage audit logs centrally in order to find errors and illegal operations on all servers in the entire system, not only on a particular system.
To find clues for resolving problems when system errors or illegal operations occur, by accumulating audit logs collected from servers.
To use the Systemwalker Centric Manager Audit Log Management function, specify the -y option of the mpsetlogsend_omgr command. For more information about this command, refer to "mpsetlogsend_omgr command" in the Systemwalker Operation Manager Reference Guide.
Also, refer to "Defining Audit Log Output" in the Systemwalker Operation Manager Installation Guide for information about changing the settings for the Systemwalker Centric Manager Audit Log Management function.
For more information about the Systemwalker Centric Manager Audit Log Management function, refer to the Systemwalker Centric Manager Solution Guide - Security.
