1. Software stored on at least one host for converting N networked hosts into a resource managed system instantiating M managed characteristic applications, comprising:

  • a first function group which monitors the N hosts and network resources, the first function group running on the N hosts;

    a second function group which provides general-purpose application event reporting and event correlation capabilities, the second function group running on the M characteristic applications themselves and reporting to daemons running on the N hosts;

    a third function group which provides the reasoning and decision-making capabilities for the resource managed system; and

    a fourth function group which provides program control capabilities permitting starting, stopping, and configuring of selected ones of the M managed characteristic applications on respective ones of the N hosts in the resource managed system,wherein;

    the first function group includes host monitor functions instantiated by first selected ones of the N hosts which generate first data corresponding to performance of all hosts and network devices in the distributed environment;

    the second function group includes application monitoring functions instantiated by corresponding ones of the N hosts which generate second data indicative of performance of the M managed characteristic applications; and

    one of the first and the second function groups provides metric functions instantiated by second selected ones of the N hosts which generate performance metrics based on the first and the second data and provides the performance metrics to the third function group.
