1. A method for management of a distributed data processing system, the method comprising:
- configuring user-associated monitoring parameters and device-associated monitoring parameters for users and devices within the distributed data processing system using a network management framework;
dynamically discovering resources within the distributed data processing system;
automatically determining, based on a configurable parameter, whether to use user-associated monitoring parameters or device-associated monitoring parameters for adaptive monitoring operations;
selecting a set of user-associated monitoring parameters from multiple sets of user-associated monitoring parameters or a set of device-associated monitoring parameters from multiple sets of device-associated monitoring parameters;
adaptively monitoring the discovered resources using the network management framework in accordance with the selected set of user-associated monitoring parameters or in accordance with the selected set of device-associated monitoring parameters; and
further comprising performing a polling operation as an adaptive monitoring operation by varying a polling interval of the polling operation as specified by a polling interval parameter in the selected set of user-associated monitoring parameters or in the selected set of device-associated monitoring parameters.

Abstract
A method, system, apparatus, and computer program product is presented for management of a distributed data processing system. A network management framework allows system administrators to configure user-associated monitoring parameters and device-associated monitoring parameters for users and devices within the distributed data processing system. Resources within the distributed data processing system are dynamically discovered, and the discovered resources are adaptively monitored using the network management framework.
