Abstract

Abstract A data processing system comprises a number of managed objects, such as processors, a file system, a communications facility, a power supply, database services, and databases. A number of composite managed objects are defined, each including a number of the managed objects and/or composite managed objects as members. The statuses of the managed objects are monitored, and the status of each composite managed object is set by aggregating the status of all the members of that composite managed object. By aggregating the status of obects in this way, the operator's view of the system is simplified, making the task of managing the system significantly easier. The aggregation is performed using a rules database holding information defining a set of rules for aggregating the status of the members of each managed object.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 70 words
A data processing system comprising: (a) a plurality of managed objects, (b) means for monitoring the status of the managed objects, (c) means for defining a plurality of composite managed objects each including a plurality of said managed objects and/or composite managed objects as members, and (d) means for setting the status of said composite managed objects by aggregating the status of all the members of each composite managed object.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 36 words
A system according to Claim 1 wherein said means for setting the status of said composite managed objects comprises a rules database holding information defining a set of rules for aggregating the status of said members.
