Abstract
A method for monitoring a managed system. A performance requirement comprising at least one condition and at least one consequence is received, wherein the condition describes a required performance level of the managed system and the consequence describes a penalty provided the required performance level is not satisfied. System management data of the managed system pertaining to the condition is monitored for an instance of a threshold of the required performance level not being satisfied. In response to the threshold not being satisfied, a notification is generated.
Claims21
A method for monitoring a managed system, said method comprising:
- receiving a performance requirement comprising at least one condition and at least one consequence, said condition describing a required performance level of a portion of said managed system and said consequence describing a penalty provided the required performance level is not satisfied;
- monitoring system management data of said managed system for an instance of a threshold of said required performance level not being satisfied;
- and
- in response to said threshold not being satisfied, generating a notification.
A computer-readable medium having computer-readable program code embodied therein for causing a computer system to perform a method of monitoring enforcement of a service level agreement, said method comprising:
- receiving said service level agreement comprising at least one condition and at least one consequence, said condition describing a required performance level of a portion of a managed system and said consequence describing a penalty provided the required performance level is not satisfied;
- accessing system management data of said managed system related to said service level agreement;
- determining a performance level of said portion of said managed system using said system management data related to said service level agreement;
- comparing said required performance level against said performance level for an instance of a threshold of said required performance level not being satisfied;
- and
- in response to said threshold not being satisfied, generating a notification.
A system for monitoring a managed system, said system comprising:
- means for receiving a performance requirement comprising at least one condition and at least one consequence, said condition describing a required performance level of a portion of said managed system and said consequence describing a penalty provided the required performance level is not satisfied;
- means for accessing system management data of said managed system associated with said performance requirement;
- means for comparing system management data of said managed system for an instance of a threshold of said required performance level not being satisfied;
- and
- means for generating an alert in response to said threshold not being satisfied.
