International Classification:

G06F009/45

US Classification:

717/141000, 717/142000

Abstract:

In a system that uses collectors to gather data indicating the status of nodes in an enterprise, analyzers are provided to analyze the collector data. Each analyzer includes a program and an accompanying XML analyzer descriptor. Each analyzer program is written in one of several programming language. Each descriptor identifys the types of collectors whose data the program accepts and also identifys the language in which the program is written. A framework exercises a set of one or more of these analyzer programs repeatedly, and during each such repetitive exercise of the set, presents the set of analyzers with collector output data gathered from a different specific set of one or more nodes. During each exercise of each analyzer program, the framework reviews the analyzer's descriptor and executes the program in a program execution environment appropriate to the language in which the program is written. The framework also notes the type of collectors whose data the program accepts and arranges to present this type of collector data to the program as a data input stream during program execution or interpretation.

International Classification:

G06F009/45

US Classification:

717/141000, 717/144000

Abstract:

A computerized apparatus and method generates information descriptive of issues arising in a monitored set of nodes. The method comprises supplying one or more analyzer programs with node-specific information derived from one or more nodes. Each analyzer program is then caused to analyze at least some of the information provided from each node to detect the presence of one or more issues. When an issue is detected, the analyzer program is caused to generate issue identification information which is augmented with information identifying the node from which the node-specific information was derived. The augmented information for all the issues detected is presented in combined form as an issues database suitable for later use in report generation.

International Classification:

H04L 12/24
H04L 12/26

Abstract:

Event clusters can in an example embodiment include converting a description of an event associated with a configuration item (CI) to a standardized description, classifying the event based on a comparison of the standardized description of the event with a standardized description of a prior event included in an existing event cluster, and assigning the classified event to an event cluster.
