Topology information system for a managed world
First Claim
1. A topology information system, comprising:
- a topology collection sub-system including at least one topology discovery agent, said topology collection sub-system automatically collecting topology information from at least one topology layer of at least one managed world;
a topology database, that is adapted to store the topology information collected by said topology collection sub-system;
a topology query sub-system adapted to query the topology information stored in said topology database using a topology pattern query created by a user; and
a topology viewing sub-system adapted to display a view of the topology information, wherein the viewing sub-system displays topology information in multiple viewing layers and automatically generates the viewing layers based on a user defined display rule.

Abstract
A topology information system, comprising a topology collection sub-system, a topology database, a topology query sub-system and a topology correlation sub-system. The topology collection sub-system includes at least one topology discovery agent. The topology collection sub-system automatically collects topology information from at least one topology layer of at least one managed world. The topology database is adapted to store the topology information collected by the topology collection sub-system. The topology query sub-system is adapted to query the topology information stored in the topology database using a topology pattern query created by a user. The topology correlation sub-system operates in parallel to the topology query sub-system, constantly monitoring the managed world for events and updating the Information Base accordingly.
