摘要:
For monitoring a data processing system, a sequence of critical conditions with increasing severity indexes is defined. Each critical condition is detected when a corresponding state parameter exceeds a threshold value with a predefined persistence over time. The persistence may be specified by a minimum number of repeated occurrences of this event, with a maximum number of consecutive non-occurrences that are allowed between them. Whenever critical conditions are detected, the monitoring application retrieves the severity index of the last detected critical condition with the highest severity index, and calculates an incremental index indicative of how closely the state parameter is approaching the next critical condition. An indicator of the health of the system may be generated by subtracting the severity index of the last critical condition plus the incremental index from an optimal value.

摘要:
In a system and method for monitoring the integrity of a plurality of endpoint devices in a network, each endpoint device is in communication with a gateway device and transmits a periodic message to this gateway device. When the gateway device fails to receive a periodic message from an endpoint, the gateway device marks the endpoint as in trouble. The next time the gateway device fails to receive a periodic message from the same endpoint, the gateway device marks the endpoint as removed. The gateway is in communication with a central server and sends status update messages to this central server.
摘要:
A method, apparatus and computer-usable medium for the graphical presentation of the contextual relationship between a reported exception and its related resources and/or contributing factors. An exception view is presented to display an abnormally operating resource and the operational state of its related resources and/or contributing factors. Contextually related processes and resources are graphically depicted in one or more hierarchy trees, topologically-oriented views, or other depictions, with the operational health or condition of each resource indicated. Fault determination and resolution of the reported exception and its related processes and resources can then be facilitated.
摘要:
The invention provides a method, system, and program product for providing an aggregated view. In one embodiment, the invention includes selecting at least one criterion satisfied by at least two components of a system; aggregating the at least two components based on their provision of a same service at different sites within the system; and displaying the aggregated components within a graphical display.
摘要:
A method for providing a graphical user interface (GUI), where the GUI allows a user to look ahead to object relationships at the additional navigational layers in a taxonomy, without navigating to other layers in the taxonomy, wherein the method includes: selecting an object on a display screen to view the objects context at another layer in the taxonomy; providing the user with a pop-up taxonomy menu; selecting from the pop-up taxonomy menu a layer within the taxonomy to see the selected object's context in relation to additional objects of the taxonomy; providing the user a window display in the area of the selected object; wherein the window displays the current object selected in relationship and in context to the additional objects at the selected layer in the taxonomy; and does not obscure or replace an original view or the selected object.
摘要:
A system and method of characterizing the status of a complex system provide for determining a combined status level of a pair of related objects in an architecture, wherein one of the pair of related objects is a destination object and another of the pair of related objects is a source object. The combined status level determination can be cascaded through the architecture toward a front-end object corresponding to the pair of related objects to obtain a set of combined status levels. A status output may also be generated based on the set of combined status levels.
