Management information notification to a manager in a management system
First Claim
1. An agent of a management system, the agent comprising:
- a memory;
a current Management Information Table (MIT) for storing, using the memory, management Information (MI) received from one or more network resources of the system;
a Database Handling Module for detecting a Management Information Request (MIR) for sending MI to a manager, and responsive to the MIR, the Database Handling Module;
builds a Management Information Notification (MIN) using MI from at least the current MIT;
associates the manager with the current MIT;
converts the current MIT into an old MIT; and
creates a new current MIT for storing subsequent MI to be received from the one or more network resources, the new current MIT not being associated to any manager; and
a Communication Module that;
sends the built MIN to the manager.

Abstract
Method and corresponding agent in a management system of a network. At least one manager and the agent have at least one old Management Information Table (MIT) containing Management Information (MI) from network resources. A Management Information Module of the agent gathers Management Information (MI) from the network resources into a current MIT. A Database Handling Module of the agent, following an event, associates one manager to the event, verifies if the associated manager is associated with one old MIT, builds a Management Information Notification (MIN) from at least the current MIT, associates the associated manager with the current MIT, freezes the current MIT into a further old MIT and creates a further current MIT. A Communication Module of the agent further sends the built MIN to the associated manager.

16. A method for handling Management Information (MI) in a management system of a network, the management system comprising an agent and a manager, and the network comprising a plurality of network resources sending MI to the agent, the method comprising steps of:
-
a. detecting at the agent a Management Information Request (MIR) for sending MI to the manager; b. associating a current Management Information Table (MIT) of the agent with the manager thereby creating an old MIT associated with the manager; c. creating a new current MIT for storing subsequent MI to be received from the plurality of network resources, the new current MIT not being associated to any manager; and d. responding to the manager with a MI Notification (MIN) comprising MI from the old MIT. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
