ABSTRACT:
A method, system, and computer program product for extracting, for a selected communication protocol, status information related to a monitored device communicatively coupled to a network, including accessing the monitored device using the selected communication protocol to obtain at least vendor information related to the monitored device; obtaining, from a first memory, information identifying an access function for extracting the status information from an accessible data file on the monitored device; generating a string based on the obtained vendor information and the obtained access function information; retrieving, from a second memory in correspondence to the generated string, (1) information of a data processing object associated with the access function, and (2) an information map that includes at least a type of status information to be extracted from the monitored device and a weight associated with the status information; and accessing the monitored device using the access function, the information map, and the selected communication protocol to obtain the status information.
