Patent Images
1. A method of alert notification, comprising:
- identifying an alert notification agent monitoring a managed object associated with an agent device;
using a discovery process to query an agent metadata service running on the agent device for metadata information residing on the agent, the metadata information comprising information about the managed object;
using the metadata information retrieved from the agent metadata service running on the agent device to identify a schema associated with the alert notification agent;
providing an alert notification manager on a processor-controlled manager device;
using the processor controlled manager device to create a manager-side representation of an agent-side schema associated with the agent device in a repository associated with an alert notification manager;
using the processor controlled device to register the alert notification manager to receive alert notifications from the alert notification agent; and
receiving, at the alert notification manager, one or more Simple Object Access Protocol alert notifications from the alert notification agent, the alert notifications indicating a status of the managed object.

9. A non-transitory storage medium storing a program instructions operable, when executed by one or more processors, to perform the steps comprising:
-
using a discovery process to query an agent metadata service running on the agent device for metadata information residing on the agent, the metadata information comprising information about the managed object; using the metadata information retrieved from the agent metadata service running on the agent device to identify an alert notification agent monitoring a managed object associated with an agent device; identifying a schema associated with the alert notification agent associated with the agent device; creating a representation of the schema associated with the alert notification agent associated with the agent device in a repository associated with an alert notification manager provided on a processor-controlled manager device; registering the alert notification manager to receive alert notifications from the alert notification agent; and receiving, at the alert notification manager, one or more Simple Object Access Protocol alert notifications from the alert notification agent, the alert notifications indicating a status of the managed object. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 26)

17. A system for alert notification, comprising:
-
an alert notification manager residing on a processor-controlled device; and a database operable to store information received from the alert notification manager; wherein the alert notification manager is configured to; identify an alert notification agent monitoring a managed object associated with an agent device; use a discovery process to query an agent metadata service running on the agent device for metadata information residing on the agent, the metadata information comprising information about the managed object; use the metadata information retrieved from the agent metadata service running on the agent device to identify a schema associated with the alert notification agent associated with the agent device; create, on a processor-controlled manager device, a manager-side representation of an agent-side schema associated with the agent device in the database; register to receive alert notifications from the alert notification agent; and receive one or more Simple Object Access Protocol alert notifications from the alert notification agent, the one or more alert notifications indicating a status of the managed object. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 27)

23. A system for alert notification, comprising:
-
an alert notification manager residing on a processor-controlled device; and a database operable to store information received from the alert notification manager; wherein the alert notification manager is configured to; use a discovery process to query an agent metadata service running on the agent device for metadata information residing on the agent, the metadata information comprising information about the managed object; use the metadata information retrieved from the agent metadata service running on the agent device to identify an alert notification agent monitoring a managed object; identify a schema associated with the alert notification agent monitoring; create a representation of the schema in the database; register to receive alert notifications from the alert notification agent; and receive one or more Simple Object Access Protocol alert notifications from the alert notification agent, the one or more alert notifications indicating a status of the managed object, and wherein the alert notification manager is configured to receive the one or more Simple Object Access Protocol alert notifications at predetermined intervals. - View Dependent Claims (24)
