METHOD AND SYSTEM TO MONITOR EQUIPMENT OF AN IT INFRASTRUCTURE
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring and analyzing IT infrastructures in a telecommunication system, the system comprising a controller node and a plurality of IT infrastructures, the method comprising for the controller node the acts of:
- distributing a monitoring agent to each IT infrastructure through the telecommunication system, the monitoring agent being adapted to monitor performance parameters of the IT infrastructure and forward performance data corresponding to the performance parameters to the controller node,receiving for at least one of the IT infrastructures the performance data,gathering for at least one performance parameter an IT infrastructure filter and a set of rules, the IT infrastructure filter defining a subset of the performance data, and the set of rules defining computational rules to be applied to the subset of data,calculating statistics for the at least one performance parameter based on the set of rules applied to the subset of data.
