Monitoring of availability data for system management environments

A computer program product, comprising a computer readable hardware storage device having computer readable program code stored therein, said program code containing instructions which, upon being executed by a processor of a computer system, implement a method for monitoring availability data of a system management (SM) environment, said method comprising:

• in response to determining that a retrieved connection configuration establishes communication between a SM environment and a SM portal server that comprises a central repository, said processor collecting availability data from an availability module, wherein the availability data pertains to availability of resources at endpoints of one or more terminal systems, wherein the connection configuration is associated with the SM environment, wherein the SM environment is coupled to the SM portal server and the availability module, and wherein the SM environment comprises the one or more terminal systems;
• for each available endpoint of each terminal system, said processor verifying whether a proper monitoring probe is deployed or not deployed at each available endpoint such that a proper monitoring probe is properly configured to monitor availability of resources at each available endpoint;
• and
• said processor recording the collected availability data in the central repository.

A computer system comprising a processor, a memory coupled to the processor, and a computer readable storage device coupled to the processor, said storage device containing program code which, upon being executed by the processor via the memory, implements a method for monitoring availability data of a system management (SM) environment, said method comprising:

• in response to determining that a retrieved connection configuration establishes communication between a SM environment and a SM portal server that comprises a central repository, said processor collecting availability data from an availability module, wherein the availability data pertains to availability of resources at endpoints of one or more terminal systems, wherein the connection configuration is associated with the SM environment, wherein the SM environment is coupled to the SM portal server and the availability module, and wherein the SM environment comprises the one or more terminal systems;
