1. One or more storage devices storing computer-executable instructions in a memory, the computer-executable instructions, when executed, configure a computer to perform acts comprising:
- ascertaining a role of a user in an information management environment;
receiving, from the user, one or more definitions of one or more types of system components, one or more properties for the one or more types of system components, and one or more discovery rules that allow objects to be discovered based on the one or more types of system components, wherein an object comprises an instance of a system component;
gathering data about one or more components of the information management environment based on the role of the user and the one or more types of system components that the user has permission to view; and
presenting at least a portion of the data for the user.

Abstract
Processes and techniques for tailoring operations management in a system are described. The processes and techniques allow a user to customize operations management based on the user'"'"'s function within a system and the particular tasks that the user wishes to accomplish. Simplified user interfaces can be created by scoping the interfaces based on user profiles, preferences and system components.

8. A method comprising:
-
under one or more processors configured with executable instructions; determining a set of permissions associated with a role of a user with respect to a management system; receiving, from the user, one or more definitions of one or more types of system components, one or more properties for the one or more types of system components, and one or more discovery rules that allow objects to be discovered based on the one or more types of system components, wherein an object comprises an instance of a system component; discovering the objects and values of the one or more properties based on the one or more types of system components; dynamically passing the values of the one or more properties as parameters to one or more monitors; and presenting information based on the set of permissions associated with the role of the user with respect to the management system and the one or more monitors. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method of generating a monitor comprising:
-
under one or more processors configured with executable instructions; prompting a user to select a rules template from one or more rules templates for an information management environment, the one or more rules templates enabling a derived type to be created using one or more monitors and rules from a base type defined in the one or more rules templates, wherein the base type describes a class of a system components, the system components including one or more hardware components, one or more software components, or both hardware components and software components; loading the selected rules template; and presenting an interface having fields tailored to the selected rules template. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
