Flexible display of management data in a programmable event driven processing system
First Claim
1. A management server for coupling to a network that facilitates and performs programmable event driven processing, comprising:
- event detection logic, for coupling to the network, that receives any of a plurality of event notifications transmitted via the network, each event notification corresponding to the occurrence of at least one of a plurality of management events, and that supports registration of at least one listener of any of the plurality of management events;
a plurality of executable components that each perform a basic function;
a construction editor that enables access of the plurality of executable components to generate at least one construction including at least one instance of the plurality of executable components, that facilitates defining a relationship between instances of executable components comprising the at least one construction;
the at least one construction, when invoked, executing the at least one instance of the plurality of executable components to perform at least one desired operation in response to the occurrence of the at least one of the plurality of management events; and
the event detection logic receiving an event notification corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of management events and invoking the at least one construction.

Abstract
A management server for a network that facilitates and performs programmable event driven processing including event detection logic that receives and processes any of a plurality of event notifications transmitted via the network and that invokes at least one corresponding construction. Each event notification corresponds to the occurrence of management events and supports registration of listeners of each management event. The management server further includes executable components that each performs a basic function and a construction editor that enables access of the plurality of executable components. The construction editor facilitates defining a relationship between the executable components to generate constructions and performs registration of the constructions with the event detection logic as a listener of management events. Each construction, when invoked, executes its components according to the defined relationship to perform at least one desired management operation.

11. A management system for a network, comprising:
-
at least one managed device, for coupling to the network, that detects occurrence of any one of a plurality of management events occurring on the at least one managed device and that transmits one of a corresponding plurality of event notifications via the network; and a management server, for coupling to the network, comprising; event detection logic, for coupling to the network, that receives any of the plurality of event notifications transmitted via the network and that supports registration of at least one listener of any of the plurality of management events; a plurality of executable components that each perform a basic function; a construction editor that enables access of the plurality of executable components, that facilitates defining a relationship between instances of executable components comprising the at least one construction, and that performs registration of the at least one construction with the event detection logic as a listener of at least one of the plurality of management events; the at least one construction, when invoked, executing the at least one instance of the plurality of executable components to perform at least one desired operation in response to the occurrence of the at least one management event; and the event detection logic receiving an event notification corresponding to the at least one management event and invoking the at least one construction. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
