ABSTRACT:
A means for supporting a network manager by collecting data pertaining to the financial and operational characteristics of networks. The network manager collects information concerning the operational and output characteristics of workstation on a network and converts the information to reports that emphasize the network management and financial aspects of a computer network. These reports may be selected, designed and/or formatted by the network executive in a manner that best meets the manager's unique needs. Four distinct activities are performed by the system. These activities provide a network monitor/data collection function, a proprietary network environment to communicate among these activities, an end-user interface system to support network information services, and a resource center activity is a repository of network data collected, information processing, and network coordination and monitor data collection personality. The network transaction data is collected by network monitors and is transmitted in a processed form to a central resource center, which performs a series of data manipulation functions and stores in a database the information necessary to produce both standard and user-defined reports.
