A system, method and computer instructions are disclosed for routing system management information to entities or parties who are responsible for responding to the management information. If a management agent or managed resource associated with a computer-based management system desires to send event or notification information to an entity, party or person responsible for responding to the event or notification information, the management agent or managed resource can determine an identity of an entity, party or person responsible for responding to the event or notification from a prioritized “on-call list”. The management agent or managed resource can then determine the availability of the identified entity, party or person from a Presence Network, and send the event or notification information to a resource where the identified entity, party or person is currently “present”. The presence information obtained from the Presence Network can be used by the management agent or managed resource to determine which of the responsible entities, parties or persons are available at run-time. The management agent or managed resource can then forward the event or notification information to the most appropriate responsible entity, party or person.

A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for optimizing Web services binding. A request is received from a client for Web services binding information for a Web service. The current availability of the Web service requested by the client is identified in response to receiving the request to form an identified current availability. An indication of the identified current availability of the Web service is sent to the client in response to identifying the current availability of the Web service requested by the client. The client uses the indication of the identified current availability to selectively use the Web service.

Method, system and computer program product for communicating information regarding a managed resource in a network data processing system. A method, in a network data processing system, for communicating information regarding a managed resource includes receiving management information regarding at least one managed resource. The received management information is converted into a specified format, and the converted management information is then sent to at least one management application in conjunction with the sending of presence information to the at least one management application. The converted management information may then be extracted from the presence information for use in any desired manner. The invention provides a convenient mechanism for communicating status information and other appropriate information regarding a managed resource to interested parties connected to the network data processing system.

An improved method, apparatus, and computer instructions for correlating system management information in a network data processing system. Monitoring an instant messaging chat group for system management information sent by a set of agents located in the network data processing system using an instant messaging system, wherein the system management information forms collected system management information, correlating the collected system management information form correlated system management information, and initiating an action based on the correlated system management information.
摘要:
A system and method for using hierarchical policy levels for distribution of software in a computer network. In one embodiment, computers of the network are arranged into a hierarchy. A management policy server with access to the network queries the hierarchy to identify computers at or below its own level within the hierarchy. Once a set of computers is identified, software programs, updates or policies are distributed, bypassing human intervention.

An example of a solution provided here comprises automatically measuring bandwidth of a network connection; comparing results of the measuring, with bandwidth parameters; preventing a transfer of a file via the network connection, if measured bandwidth is less than a minimum acceptable value; providing to an end user an option of transferring a file via the network connection, if measured bandwidth is not less than a minimum acceptable value, but is less than an optimal value; and automatically transferring a file via the network connection, if measured bandwidth is greater than or equal to an optimal value.
摘要:
A method, apparatus, and computer program product for monitoring the performance of a system. The mechanism of the present invention provides an interface in the form of a graphical user interface (GUI) to communicate multiple layers of system performance data to an operator. An operator monitors this display of information and uses it to determine how to adjust the system to optimize system performance. This mechanism of the present invention provides immediate feedback to an operator by displaying a trail of metric points, wherein the metric points indicate the status of system performance over a period of time. In this manner, the display mechanism of the present invention immediately conveys to an operator whether the system is operating within predefined margins, the results of performance adjustments made to the system, as well as predictions or trends for the system.

A monitoring program contains a method for detecting a load imbalance in a group of servers and providing notification so that corrections can be made. An embodiment of the invention reads from the address resolution protocol (ARP) cache to determine which server addresses are present, then clears the ARP cache. The address resolution protocol will repopulate the cache from traffic it snoops and from new requests. By performing this query and clear operation periodically, the tracking program can form a picture of the activity levels of the servers. When a significant imbalance exists, the program notifies a control console for human intervention to solve the problem. The tracking program will periodically write its results to a log file, allowing reports for various time periods to be produced as needed. By this mechanism, not only can an imbalance be quickly detected, but underutilization can be picked up by comparing known capability of a resource to its actual usage.
摘要:
A mechanism and model are provided for representing and managing composite resource models. When a resource monitor is deployed for a resource, the resource monitor scans for information that indicates that the resource under monitoring is part of a cluster, grid, or other composite configuration. The resource monitor then determines whether monitoring information for the resource should be reported differently because of the composite configuration. If monitoring information for the resource is to be reported differently, the resource monitor alters the reporting format to reflect the composite resource model. The resource manager may then receive the monitoring information and apply this information to individual resources and aggregates the monitoring information for composite resources.
