Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described in detail.
First, in order to acquire only the necessary event notifications from the event notifications, the event notification selection conditions are input from the operation terminal 1, and the event notification selection condition acquisition unit 21 of the event notification selection condition input means 2 is input.
Obtained by. The condition validity checking unit 22 checks whether or not the acquired event notification selection condition is the content 7 of the event notified from the management target 8. The event notification selection condition storage unit 24 stores the selection condition 6, which is judged to be correct by the condition judgment unit 23, in a file. For the event notification selection condition for which the condition determination unit 23 has determined that the selection condition is invalid, the error message output unit 25 outputs an error message to the operation terminal 1.

Next, when the event notification 7 occurs in the managed object 8, the event notification occurrence notification from the managed object 8 is acquired by the event notification occurrence notification processing unit 31, and the event notification acquisition unit 32 is acquired.
The event notification 7 is acquired by. The event notification selection condition determination means activation unit 33 activates the event notification selection condition determination means 4. In order to judge whether or not the event notification 7 acquired by the event notification acquisition means 3 satisfies the condition stored in the file by the event notification selection input means 2,
The event notification selection condition expansion unit 41 of the event notification selection condition determination unit 4 expands the selection condition 6 stored in the file in the memory, and the event notification 7 acquired by the event notification acquisition unit 3 is converted to the event notification expansion unit 42. To expand in memory.

As shown in FIG. 6, the selection condition 6 includes "class" indicating the type of management target, which is the content of the event notification notified from the management target, "event type" indicating the type of notification,
A condition 62 such as “importance” indicating the importance of the notification is specified, and a selection method 61 indicating whether to connect a plurality of conditions by “AND”, “OR”, or “knot” is specified. ing.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the event notification 7 includes events such as “notification destination”, “managed object name”, “class”, “installation location”, “event type”, “importance”, etc. Notification additional information 71 is set. The event notification validity checking unit 43 checks the validity of the selection condition 6 expanded in the memory by the event notification selecting condition expanding unit 41 and the event notification 7 expanded in the memory by the event notification expanding unit 42.

First, the condition judging unit 44 of the event notification validity checking unit 43 checks the condition 62 "class = terminal". By referring to the event notification additional information 71 of the event notification 7, the condition is satisfied with “class = terminal”. Since the condition judging unit 46 has not evaluated all the conditions, the following conditions are evaluated. The condition judging unit 44 checks the condition 62 “event type = alarm” and repeats until all the conditions are evaluated. The event notification transmission means activation unit 47 activates the event notification transmission means 5. If the condition 62 is not satisfied by the check of the condition judging unit 44, the event notification destroying unit 45 destroys the event notification.

In order to transmit the event notification 7 selected by the event notification selection condition judging means 4 to the management terminal 1, the event notification acquisition request transmitting section 51 of the event notification transmitting means
The event notification transmission request is transmitted to the management terminal 1, the confirmation response from the management terminal 1 is acquired by the event notification acquisition confirmation acquisition unit 52, and the event notification transmission unit 53 transmits the event notification 7 to the management terminal 1.
