First Claim
Patent Images
1. A processor-based method for gathering network management data, comprising:
- gathering network data from a plurality of network-coupled data processing arrangements using a network management protocol;
remotely executing a command line status function on one or more of the data processing arrangements, the command line status function providing user-readable results describing status of the one or more data processing arrangements;
forming combined network data based on the network data and the results of the command line status function; and
presenting the combined network data for use in a network management arrangement.

Abstract
A method, system, and apparatus are disclosed for gathering network management data. Network data is gathered from a plurality of network-coupled data processing arrangements using a network management protocol. A command line status function is remotely executed on one or more of the data processing arrangements. Combined network data is formed based on the network data and a result of the command line status function. The combined network data is presented for use in a network management arrangement.
