System and method for dynamic management of network device data
First Claim
1. A method of managing management data communicated between a managed node and a network management system via a network management protocol, the method comprising:
- receiving, on the network management system, an event notification from an agent associated with the managed node, wherein the agent is remote from the network management system;
determining, on the network management system, the event notification triggers a change in how the management data is managed on the managed node, wherein the management data is generated on the managed node; and
responsive to said determining;
determining a command, by the network management system, to be sent to the managed node via the network management protocol that represents the change in how the management data is managed on the managed node, andsending the command from the network management system to the agent associated with the managed node, wherein the agent changes configuration of the managed node to implement the change in how the management data is managed on the managed node by translating the command into one or more native commands for the managed node and applying the one or more native commands to the managed node.

Abstract
A method and apparatus of a device that dynamically changes how management data is managed in response to events detected in a network system is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device receives an event notification from an agent associated with a managed node. The device further determines if the received event notification triggers a change in how the management data is managed on that manage node. If the event notification does trigger a change, the device determines a command for that manage node that represents that change if how the management data is managed on the managed node. In addition, the device sends the command to the managed, where the agent applies the command to the managed node and the applied command implements the change in how the management data is managed on the managed node.

14. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having executable instructions to cause one or more processing units to perform a method to manage management data communicated between a managed node and a network management system via a network management protocol, the method comprising:
-
receiving, on the network management system, an event notification from an agent associated with the managed node, wherein the agent is remote from the network management system; determining, on the network management system, the event notification triggers a change in how the management data is managed on the managed node, wherein the management data is generated on the managed node; and responsive to said determining; determining a command, by the network management system, to be sent to the managed node via the network management protocol that represents the change in how the management data is managed on the managed node, and sending the command from the network management system to the agent associated with the managed node, wherein the agent changes configuration of the managed node to implement the change in how the management data is managed on the managed node by translating the command into one or more native commands for the managed node and applying the one or more native commands to the managed node. - View Dependent Claims (15)

16. A system to manage management data communicated between a managed node and a network management system via a network management protocol, the system comprising:
-
an agent event module to receive an event notification from an agent associated with the managed node, wherein the agent event module includes memory to store the even notification and the agent is remote from the network management system; an agent event trigger module, coupled to the agent event module, determining the event notification triggers a change in how the management data is managed on the managed node, wherein the management data is generated on the managed node; and
responsive to said determining;a management data command determination module, coupled to the agent event trigger module, determines a management command to be sent to the managed node via the network management protocol that represents the change in how the management data is managed on the managed node, and a send command module, coupled to the management data command determination module, sends the management command to the agent associated with the managed node, wherein the agent changes configuration of the managed node to implement the change in how the management data is managed on the managed node by translating the management command into one or more native commands for the managed node and applying the one or more native commands to the managed node. - View Dependent Claims (17)
