Abstract

See full text

A hierarchical, object-oriented definition of the health of resources on a machine or network. A schema of objects is defined to represent machine and/or network health. One class of objects defines DataGroups that can be nested to represent machine resources. In addition to DataGroup objects, three other types of objects are defined in the schema, namely DataCollectors, Thresholds and Actions. DataCollectors are objects that when instantiated, collect data by polling or event notification. Threshold class objects as defined in the schema are associated with the DataCollector objects, and each provides the threshold or thresholds against which a DataCollector's collected data is evaluated. Action objects specify what happens when a Threshold is violated, such as to send an e-mail, page someone, run a script, execute a command, or send a message alert to a console for an operator to see.
