Abstract

To quickly establish an inferring result when a problem is detected in an operation management system equipped with a rule-based inference processing function, there is provided a method of collecting information for managing a computer system equipped with a plurality of devices. The computer system holds rule for associating a plurality of events with a conclusion output when all of the plurality of events have been detected. The method includes: executing, at a first interval, polling to obtain information indicating whether each of the plurality of events has been detected; judging whether the plurality of events have been detected; and executing, upon judgment that at least one of the plurality of events has been detected and none of the remaining events have been detected, before execution of next polling at the first interval, polling to obtain information indicating whether at least one of the undetected remaining events has been detected.

Claims13

Dependent claims

A computer system comprising:

a plurality of devices;
and
a management computer configured to:
store, in the management computer, rule information including a first rule indicating a first conclusion that is output when all of a first plurality of events have been detected, and a second rule indicating a second conclusion that is output when all of a second plurality of events have been detected;
regularly poll the plurality of devices to obtain information related to the first plurality of events and the second plurality of events;
calculate a first ratio based at least in part on events of the first plurality of events that were detected by the regularly polling;
calculate a second ratio based at least in part on events of the second plurality of events that were detected by the regularly polling;
and
conduct additional polling with respect to at least one of the plurality of devices to obtain one or more undetected events of the first or second plurality of events, based on the first ratio and the second ratio.
