POLICY CREATION SUPPORT METHOD, POLICY CREATION SUPPORT SYSTEM, AND PROGRAM THEREFOR
First Claim
1. A policy creation support method for a policy creation support system which is used to control a monitoring target system to satisfy a contract condition, and which supports creation of a policy that contains:
- a condition indicating a state of the monitoring target system; and
an action executed if the state of the monitoring target system satisfies the condition,the condition containing;
a monitoring item serving as a monitoring target in the monitoring target system; and
a range of a measurement value with regard to the monitoring item,the policy creation support method comprising the following steps executed by the policy creation support system;
a retaining step of retaining a template used to designate a type of the monitoring item necessary for the creation of the policy;
an obtaining step of obtaining the measurement value of each resource amount of a resource serving as an expansion target, with regard to each monitoring item corresponding to the type designated by the template;
a selecting step of selecting one representative measurement value from among the measurement values, for each resource amount, with regard to each monitoring item corresponding to the type designated by the template; and
an outputting step of outputting the monitoring item, the resource amount serving as the monitoring item, and the range of the measurement value corresponding to the resource amount, with regard to each monitoring item corresponding to the type designated by the template, by setting a range including the selected representative measurement value as the range of the measurement value.

Abstract
A policy creation support system is provided, which is capable of reducing cost for creation of an effective autonomic control policy. The policy creation support system measures information indicating performance of a monitoring target system, with regard to a monitoring item of a designated type, for each resource amount of an expandable resource, and selects one representative measurement value from among measurement values on a resource-amount basis. Then, the policy creation support system outputs the monitoring item, the resource amount serving as the monitoring item, and a range of the measurement value corresponding to the resource amount, as a countermeasure decision condition within a policy, by setting a range including the selected representative measurement value as the range of the measurement value.

9. A policy creation support system, which is used to control a monitoring target system to satisfy a contract condition, and which supports creation of a policy that contains:
- a condition indicating a state of the monitoring target system; and
an action executed if the state of the monitoring target system satisfies the condition,the condition containing;
a monitoring item serving as a monitoring target in the monitoring target system; and
a range of a measurement value with regard to the monitoring item,the policy creation support system comprising; a template retaining unit which retains a template used to designate a type of the monitoring item necessary for the creation of the policy; a measurement value obtaining unit which obtains the measurement value of each resource amount of a resource serving as an expansion target, with regard to each monitoring item corresponding to the type designated by the template; a representative measurement value selecting unit which selects one representative measurement value from among the measurement values, for each resource amount, with regard to each monitoring item corresponding to the type designated by the template; and an outputting unit which outputs the monitoring item, the resource amount serving as the monitoring item, and the range of the measurement value corresponding to the resource amount, with regard to each monitoring item corresponding to the type designated by the template, by setting a range including the selected representative measurement value as the range of the measurement value.

10. A program, which causes a computer to function as a policy creation support system that is used to control a monitoring target system to satisfy a contract condition, and that supports creation of a policy that contains:
- a condition indicating a state of the monitoring target system; and
an action executed if the state of the monitoring target system satisfies the condition,the condition containing;
a monitoring item that is a monitoring target in the monitoring target system; and
a range of a measurement value with regard to the monitoring item,the program causing the computer to implement the following functions; a template retaining function of retaining a template used to designate a type of the monitoring item necessary for the creation of the policy; a measurement value obtaining function of obtaining the measurement value of each resource amount of a resource serving as an expansion target, with regard to each monitoring item corresponding to the type designated by the template; a representative measurement value selecting function of selecting one representative measurement value from among the measurement values, for each resource amount, with regard to each monitoring item corresponding to the type designated by the template; and an outputting function of outputting the monitoring item, the resource amount serving as the monitoring item, and the range of the measurement value corresponding to the resource amount, with regard to each monitoring item corresponding to the type designated by the template, by setting a range including the selected representative measurement value as the range of the measurement value.
