1. A method of mapping status messages of monitored objects to service elements in an IT-infrastructure-management system, the service elements and their dependencies being represented by an element graph having representations of directed links between service elements, thereby defining representations of higher-level and lower-level service elements, the mapping method being performed on the element graph prior to the status messages being actually transmitted and comprising:

  • directing a status message to a representation of at least one higher-level service element;

    ascertaining, at the representation of the higher-level service element, whether the status message pertains to a lower-level service element connected with the higher-level service element;

    downwardly propagating the status message to said lower-level service element in response to a positive outcome by said ascertaining step.
