ABSTRACT:
A system for self-monitoring of a data collection function of a network management software executing on a management node. The network management software may be configured to monitor and maintain a computer network, where the self-monitoring data collection module may be configured to retrieve information from remote devices to assess in the maintenance of the network. The self-monitoring data collection module may include a data collection module that may be configured to retrieve information from user-selected remote nodes of a network at scheduled times. The self-monitoring data collection function may also include a self-monitoring module of the network management, which is configured to monitor the data collection module to determine if the data collection module is lagging behind the scheduled data collection. The self-monitoring module may be further configured to determine when the management node is busy collecting data. If the management node is busy, the self-monitoring module may be further configured to compare a system time of the management node with a last idle time of the management node. If the difference is greater than a user-determined time interval, the self-monitoring module may be further configured to notify an alert module to generate an alert or message to a user that the management node is busy.
