Abstract
To achieve out-of-the-box performance management solutions in modern, complex computer environments, a method and an apparatus provide automatic discovery of applications and services resident on a monitored computer system and autonomous configuration of available performance management tools. The method includes inventorying installed applications, performance management tools, and active services. The inventory information is written to an ASCII-format file, and is used to generate performance management tool configuration files. The performance management software is then restarted to engage the new configuration customized to the computing environment.

12. An apparatus that configures performance management tools in a computer system, comprising:
-
a registry that reads information from hardware devices, application programs, and performance management programs;
a kernel coupled to the registry that receives the information read by the registry and writes the information to an inventory file;
a file generator that receives the inventory file and information related to the computer system and generates a performance management tools configuration file; and
an operating system that restarts the performance management programs after generation of the configuration file. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
