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 objects 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.
