ABSTRACT:
A method, system, and computer program product for efficiently storing information configured to be used for a plurality of communication protocols to extract status information related to a remotely monitored device among distinct devices communicatively coupled to a network, including selecting a communication protocol among the plurality of communication protocols; determining whether information for accessing the device using the selected communication protocol is stored in an internal storage table; accessing an external information storage unit to obtain the information for accessing the device using the selected communication protocol if the determining step determines that the information for accessing the device using the selected communication protocol is not stored in the internal storage table; and storing, in the internal storage table, the information for accessing the device using the selected communication protocol obtained from the external information storage unit.
