Method for controlling monitoring items, management computer, and computer system in cloud system where virtual environment and non-virtual environment are mixed
First Claim
1. A computer system comprising:
- a management computer;
a self-service portal; and
a cloud infrastructure system having physical computers and a storage device, the management computer, the self-service portal, and the cloud infrastructure system being coupled to each other,wherein the management computer;
includes;
a memory,virtual/non-virtual management information, stored in the memory, including identifiers of the physical computers and virtual/non-virtual statuses that show whether usage modes of the physical computers provided by an infrastructure manager are virtual environments or non-virtual environments, anduser manager monitoring item management information, stored in the memory, including the virtual/non-virtual statuses and monitoring items output by the self-service portal on a basis of the virtual/non-virtual statuses;
receives a designation of one of the physical computers as a monitoring target from the self-service portal;
makes a judgment whether a usage mode of the designated physical computer is non-virtual or virtual with reference to the virtual/non-virtual management information;
specifies monitoring items to be monitored regarding the designated physical computer with reference to the user manager monitoring item management information; and
transmits the specified monitoring items to the self-service portal,wherein the self-service portal outputs the specified monitoring items.

Abstract
In a cloud environment that provides both virtual environment and non-virtual environment, in order to address a problem in that monitoring items that vary depending on usage cases must be managed, the present invention proposes a management method in which whether each server brings about a virtual environment or a non-virtual environment is managed by performing registration processing in cooperation with image management and a service resource registration task. In addition, user manager monitoring profile item management information for virtual/no-virtual environment is prepared, and with reference to this information, calculation methods, which specify monitoring items to be monitored out of monitoring items and infra monitoring items for each environment, are managed. With the use of these calculation methods, a user manager and an infrastructure manager may perform optimal monitorings.
