1. A method of controlling a computer system including at least one computer,each of the at least one computer including an interface coupled to a network, a processor coupled to the interface, and a memory coupled to the processor,the computer system including an agent realized by executing a predetermined program by at least one processor, and a management unit realized by executing a predetermined program by at least one processor,the computer system holding a plurality of monitoring conditions used for monitoring a metric value of a resource included in the computer system,the plurality of monitoring conditions including a first monitoring condition,the method comprising:

  • a first step of transmitting, by the agent, a monitoring result of the metric value based on the first monitoring condition;

    a second step of generating, by the management unit, upon reception of a first change request containing information for identifying the first monitoring condition and information for specifying contents to be changed with respect to the first monitoring condition, a second monitoring condition which is one of the plurality of monitoring conditions based on the contents to be changed contained in the first change request;

    a third step of transmitting, by the management unit, an addition request for adding the second monitoring condition to the agent;

    a fourth step of transmitting, by the agent which has received the addition request, a monitoring result of the metric value based on the second monitoring condition;

    a fifth step of holding, by the management unit, first information for correlating the first monitoring condition and the second monitoring condition with each other;

    a sixth step of specifying, by the management unit, upon reception of a confirmation request for confirming the second monitoring condition, the first monitoring condition correlated with the second monitoring condition based on the first information;

    a seventh step of transmitting, by the management unit, a deletion request for deleting the first monitoring condition to the agent; and

    an eighth step of stopping, by the agent which has received the deletion request, the transmitting of the monitoring result of the metric value based on the first monitoring condition.
