First Claim
1. An integration method for managing computing components, the integration method comprising:
- collecting management information about the computing components using a data collection component;
storing objects of the collected management information in a full-text search-index data-structure;
generating for each collected object a displayable result snippet;
searching the full-text search-index data-structure for matching objects based on a received parameter;
retrieving all matching objects of full-text search-index data-structure; and
displaying the matching objects in form of the related result snippets,wherein the integration method is performed independently from the computing components it is collecting management information from.

Abstract
An integration mechanism for managing computing components may be provided. It may comprise collecting management information about the computing components using a data collection component, storing objects of the collected management information in a full-text search-index data-structure, generating for each collected object a displayable result snippet, searching the full-text search-index data-structure for matching objects based on a received parameter, retrieving all matching objects of the full-text search-index data-structure related to the search, and displaying the matching objects in form of the related result snippets, wherein the integration mechanism is independent from the computing components it is collecting management information from.

16. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory comprises instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to; collect management information about the computing components using a data collection component; store objects of the collected management information in a full-text search-index data-structure; generate for each collected object a displayable result snippet; search the full-text search-index data-structure for matching objects based on a received parameter; retrieve all matching objects of the full-text search-index data-structure; and display the matching objects in form of the related result snippets, wherein the integration method is performed independently from the computing components it is collecting management information from. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
