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.
