Management system, management computer, managed computer, management method and program

A management system comprising a management computer and a plurality of managed computers which are managed by the management computer,

• wherein a first managed computer, from among the plurality of managed computers, includes:
• a managed computer processor which is configured to obtain operating data from a monitoring object inside the first managed computer and to generate information relating to an event, the event including information indicating a parameter of the monitoring object exceeds a threshold value;
• and
• a managed computer communication device which is configured to transmit the operating data from the monitoring object and the information relating to the event to the management computer, and
• wherein the management computer includes:
• a management computer communication device which is configured to receive the operating data from the managed computer communication device and the information relating to the event from a sender managed computer;
• an operating data buffer to store the operating data received by the management computer communication device, the operating data including an identifier identifying the first managed computer;
• a data storage;
• and
• a management computer processor which is configured to compare the identifier identifying the first managed computer which includes the monitoring object with the sender managed computer that sends the information relating to the event, and
• wherein the management computer processor determines that the first managed computer is same as the sender managed computer, storing the information relating to the event and the associated operating data of the monitoring object associated with the event, in the operating data buffer, or
• wherein the management computer processor determines that the first managed computer is different from the sender management computer, not storing the information relating to the event and the associated operating data of the monitoring object associated with the event, in the operating data buffer;
• and
• wherein when the event indicates the parameter of the monitoring object exceeds the threshold value and the information relating to the event is stored in the operating data buffer, then the operating data received is stored in the data storage,
• wherein when the event does not indicate the parameter of the monitoring object exceeds the threshold value or the information relating to the event is not stored in the operating data buffer, then the operating data received is not stored in the data storage.

A management computer for monitoring a monitoring object in a managed first computer, from among a plurality of managed computers, the management computer comprising:

• a communication device configured to receive operating data of a monitoring object inside the first managed computer and information relating to an event from a sender managed computer;
• an operating data buffer to store the operating data received by the communication device, the operating data including an identifier identifying the first managed computer;
• a data storage;
• and
• a processor configured to compare the identifier identifying the first managed computer with the sender managed computer that sends the information related to the event;
• and
• wherein the processor determines that the first managed computer is same as the sender managed computer, storing the information relating to the event and the operating data of the monitoring object associated with the event, in the operating data buffer, or
• wherein the processor determines that the first managed computer is different from the sender managed computer, not storing the information relating to the event and the operating data of the monitoring object associated with the event, in the operating data buffer;
• and
• wherein when the event indicates a parameter of the monitoring object exceeds a threshold value and the information relating to the event is stored in the operating data buffer, then the operating data received is stored in the data storage,
• wherein when the event does not indicate the parameter of the monitoring object exceeds the threshold value or the information relating to the event is not stored in the operating data buffer, then the operating data received is not stored in the data storage.

An operating management method for managing one or more monitoring objects, located in one or more managed computers, on the basis of operating data, the operating management method comprising:

• receiving operating data of a monitoring object inside a first managed computer and information relating to an event from a sender managed computer;
• storing the operating data in a memory, the operating data including an identifier that identifies the first managed computer that includes the monitoring object;
• comparing the identifier with the sender computer that sends the information relating to the event;
• storing, in the memory, the information relating to the event and the operating data of the monitoring object associated with the event when determined that the first managed computer is same as the sender managed computer;
• not storing, in the memory, the information relating to the event and the operating data of the monitoring object associated with the event when determined that the first managed computer is different from the sender managed computer;
• storing the operating data in a storage device when the event indicates a parameter of the monitoring object exceeds a threshold value and the information relating to the event is stored in the memory;
• not storing the operating data in the storage device when the event does not indicate the parameter of the monitoring object exceeds the threshold value or the information relating to the event is not stored in the memory;
• and
• displaying the operating data identified.

In an non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program for managing a monitoring object on the basis of operating data, the program comprising:

• code for receiving the operating data from a first managed computer of a plurality of managed computers that includes the monitoring object inside the first managed computer;
• code for storing the operating data in a memory, the operating data including an identifier that identifies the first managed computer;
• code for receiving information relating to an event from a sender managed computer;
• code for comparing the identifier with the sender managed computer to determine whether the first managed computer is same as or difference from the sender managed computer;
• code for storing the information relating to the event and the operating data of the monitoring object associated with the event in the memory when determined that the first managed computer is same as the sender managed computer;
• code for not storing the information relating to the event and the operating data of the monitoring object associated with the event in the memory when determined that the first managed computer is different from the sender managed computer;
• code for storing the operating data in a storage device when the event indicates a parameter of the monitoring object exceeds a threshold value and the information relating to the event is stored in the memory;
• code for not storing the operating data in the storage device when the event does not indicate the parameter of the monitoring object exceeds the threshold value or the information relating to the event is not stored in the memory;
• and
• code for displaying the operating data identified.
