Abstract

The present invention relates to a management information generation method for a management information generation apparatus (20) in a system (1) including a plurality of managed objects (10, 12, 13, 14), to generate management information for the managed objects (10, 12, 13, 14). A control part (21) of the management information generation apparatus (20) stores configuration information (300) of the managed objects (10, 12, 13, 14) in the system (1), as well as management information (100) previously configured for some managed objects (10, 12, 13, 14) of the plurality of managed objects (10, 12, 13, 14) into a storage part (28). A configuration part (21) of the management information generation apparatus (20) uses the configuration information (300) and the previously configured management information (100) to generate the management information (100) for the other managed objects (10, 12, 13, 14) of the plurality of managed objects (10, 12, 13, 14).

Claims

1. A management information generation method for a management information generation apparatus in a system including a plurality of managed objects, to generate management information for the managed objects,

wherein a control part of the management information generation apparatus stores the configuration information of the managed objects in the system, as well as the management information previously configured for some managed objects of the plurality of managed objects, into a storage part, and

wherein a configuration part of the management information generation apparatus generates the management information for the other managed objects of the plurality of managed objects by using the configuration information and the previously configured management information.

2. A management information generation method according to claim 1,

wherein the management information is the permission information of the user for the managed object.

3. A management information generation method according to claim 2,

wherein the configuration part refers to the configuration information to generate the permission information as the permission information for the parent managed object of the particular managed object, within the permission range corresponding to the particular permission information.

4. A management information generation method according to claim 3,

wherein the configuration part generates the permission information as the permission information for the parent managed object, within the permission range different from the permission information for the child managed object of the particular parent managed object.

5. A management information generation method according to claim 2,

wherein the control part also stores group definition information used for dividing the plurality of managed objects into predetermined groups, into the storage part, and

wherein the configuration part refers to the group definition information to generate the permission information for the other managed object belonging to the same group as the managed object for which the permission information has been configured.

6. A management information generation method according to claim 2,

wherein if the permission information may not be configured for the managed object, the control part limits the permission of the user by changing the configuration of the parent managed object of the particular managed object.

7. A management information generation method according to claim 2,

wherein the configuration information holds the connection information to the managed object, and

wherein the configuration part connects to the particular managed object based on the connection information, to configure the generated permission information for the particular managed object.

8. A management information generation program that allows a computer to execute the management information generation method according to claim 1.

9. A management information generation apparatus in a system including a plurality of managed objects to generate management information for the managed object, the management information generation apparatus comprising:

a storage part for storing configuration information of the managed objects in the system, and management information previously configured for some managed objects of the plurality of managed objects; and

a configuration part for generating management information for other managed objects of the plurality of managed objects by using the configuration information and the previously configured management information.

10. A management information generation apparatus according to claim 9,

wherein the management information is the permission information of the user for the managed object.

11. A management information generation apparatus according to claim 10,

wherein the configuration part refers to the configuration information to generate the permission information as the permission information for the parent managed object of the particular managed object, within the permission range corresponding to the particular permission information.

12. A management information generation apparatus according to claim 11,

wherein the configuration part generates the permission information as the permission information for the parent managed object, within the permission range different from the permission information for the child managed object of the particular parent managed object.

13. A management information generation apparatus according to claim 10,

wherein the storage part also stores group definition information used for dividing the plurality of managed objects into predetermined groups, and

wherein the configuration part refers to the group definition information to generate the permission information for the other managed object belonging to the same group as the managed object for which the permission information has been configured.

14. A management information generation apparatus according to claim 10, further comprising a control part for limiting the permission of the user by changing the configuration of the parent managed object of the managed object, if the permission information may not be configured for the particular managed object.
