摘要:
A network-centric modeling mechanism is provided for updating network models in order to mitigate network issues. The network-centric modeling mechanism determines for each component in a plurality of components whether a system parameter in a set of parameters particular to the component has deviated from a predicted system parameter value in a set of predicted system parameter values past a predetermined threshold. Responsive to the system parameter deviating from the predicted system parameter value past the predetermined threshold, the network-centric modeling mechanism generates an event stream indicating a sufficient deviation. The network-centric modeling mechanism determines whether the event stream matches a previous pattern. Responsive to identifying the previous pattern that matches the event stream, the network-centric modeling mechanism preemptively mitigates any related issues in the component or in a related component in the plurality of components using topology-aware indices associated with the previous pattern.

A method for estimating locations of devices in a network, the method including: identifying each of the devices; inputting an approximate location of at least one of the devices; constructing a constrain for each of the devices, the constrain comprising at least one of a type of connectivity of the device and a technology characteristic related to the device; deriving an optimization criterion on a location for each of the devices, the criterion assigning a positive weight to each constrain that is satisfied by at least one of an estimated location and the approximate location and assigning a negative weight to each constrain that is not satisfied by at least one of the estimated location and the approximate location; calculating a best fit location for each of the devices that maximizes the optimization criterion; presenting the best fit location for each of the devices to a user, the user either accepting or rejecting each best fit location, the user providing additional information for constructing each constrain associated with a rejected best fit location; and iterating at least one of the identifying, the inputting, the constructing, the deriving, the calculating, and the presenting using the additional information until the user accepts each best fit location.

A method and system for monitoring resources in a network of resources in a computing environment, is provided. One implementation involves discovering resources in the network; constructing a topology model including event information for each discovered resource; providing queries for polling the models for event information, such that the resources need not be polled; executing one or more queries against one or more models; evaluating the query results to ascertain whether or not an event has affected what is considered to be normal for the result of each query; and presenting the evaluation results to enable monitoring of the resources.

A linkage controller analyzes, for a first management application managing at least one common resource with a second management application adjacent to the first management application within a computing environment comprising multiple resources and relationships, a resource and relationship model known by the first management application of a selection of resources and relationships managed by the first management application from among the plurality of resources and relationships in the computing environment. The linkage controller identifies, for the first management application, only a minimal set of resources and relationships within the resource and relationship model providing at least one optimal linkage point between the first management application and the second management application as to the at least one common resource. The linkage controller outputs the minimal set of resources and relationships to the second management application for relating to the first management application.
摘要:
Temporally classifying and visually representing network and IT infrastructure with planned or occurred configuration activities and/or policy compliance or non-compliance of network and IT resources, including a method, apparatus and computer program for gathering and classifying observable configuration aspects of resources and relationships in a network of resources, wherein the method comprises: analyzing the network of resources to collect planned configuration times and actual resource status; monitoring actual resource status to make determinations if planned configurations are executed; and updating a network configuration status with the determinations. Planned and actual configurations are collected and monitored over a defined time range extending before and/or after a time zero. Each planned or actual configuration is categorized with respect to one or more time windows in the defined time range.

Methods, apparatus, and products for inferred discovery of a data communications device connected to a router, unreachable by a management module, and characterized by a device address are disclosed that include querying, by the management module, the router for connection data and identifying, by the management module in dependence upon the connection data, the device address.

摘要:
Components and functionality can be implemented in an event management application to display events along a timeline. A display interval can be configured for the timeline and a scroll bar can allow scrolling to view different time periods on the timeline. In addition, filters may be applied to the events, so that relationships between events may be visualized. For example, the events may be filtered by network resource name, so that groups of events related to each network resource can be grouped together along the timeline.
