Distributing queries and combining query responses in a fault and performance monitoring system using distributed data gathering and storage
First Claim
1. A method for generating a report of performance of a system using data gathering elements distributed within the system, the method comprising:
- a) generating a query associated with the performance;
b) disseminating the query to at least two of the data gathering elements;
c) accepting query responses from each of the at least two data gathering elements;
d) combining information from the accepted query responses to generate system performance information; and
e) generating a report using the system performance information.

Abstract
Combining system fault and performance monitoring using distributed data collection and storage of performance data. Storage requirements are relaxed and real-time performance monitoring is possible. Data collection and storage elements can be easily configured via a central configuration database. The configuration database can be easily updated and changed. A federated user model allows normal end users to monitor devices relevant to the part of a service they are responsible for, while allowing administrative users to view the fault and performance of a service in an end-to-end manner.
