System and method for dynamic management of network device data
First Claim
1. A method of managing management data communicated between a network management system and a network of a plurality of managed nodes, the method comprising:
- detecting an event occurring in the network;
determining the event triggers a system change in how frequent the management data about two or more of the plurality of managed nodes is reported by the two or more of the plurality of managed nodes to the network management system, wherein the network management system is communicatively coupled to the plurality of managed nodes and manages the plurality of managed nodes; and
,identifying the two or more of the plurality of managed nodes affected by the system change and for each of the two or more affected managed nodes,determining, by the network management system, a command based on a rule matching that event from a set of rules for that managed node that represents a specific change in how frequent the management data is reported from that managed node to the network management system, andsending the command from the network management system to an agent resident on that managed node, wherein the agent applies the command to that managed node and the applied command implements the specific change in how frequent the management data is reported from that managed node to the network management system.

Abstract
A method and apparatus of a device that dynamically changes how management data is managed in response to events detected in a network system is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device detects an event occurring in the network system. The device further determines if the event triggers a system change in how the management data is reported on one or more of the managed nodes. If the event notification does trigger the system change, for each of the one or more of the managed nodes, the device determines a command for that manage node that represents a specific change in how frequent the management data is reported to the network management system. In addition, the device sends the command to that managed node, where the agent applies the command to the managed node and the applied command implements the specific change in how frequent the management data is reported to the network management system.

14. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having executable instructions to cause one or more processing units to perform a method to manage management data communicated between a network management system and a network of a plurality of managed nodes, the method comprising:
-
detecting an event occurring in the network; determining the event triggers a system change in a type of the management data that is collected by two or more of the plurality of managed nodes; and identifying the two or more of the plurality of managed nodes affected by the system change and for each of the two or more affected managed nodes, determining, by the network management system, a command based on a rule matching that event from a set of rules for that managed node that represents a specific change in the type of the management data that is collected by that managed node, and sending the command from the network management system to an agent resident on that managed node, wherein the agent applies the command to that managed node and the applied command implements the specific change in the type of the management data that is collected by that managed node. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having executable instructions to cause one or more processing units to perform a method of managing management data communicated between a network management system and a network of a plurality of managed nodes, the method comprising:
-
detecting an event occurring in the network; determining the event triggers a system change in how the management data about two or more of the plurality of managed nodes is reported by the two or more of the plurality of managed nodes to the network management system, wherein the network management system is communicatively coupled to the plurality of managed nodes and manages the plurality of managed nodes; and identifying the two or more of the plurality of managed nodes affected by the system change and for each of the two or more affected managed nodes, determining, by the network management system, a command based on a rule matching that event from a set of rules for that managed node that represents a specific change in how frequent the management data is reported from that managed node to the network management system, and sending from the network management system the command to an agent resident on that managed node, wherein the agent applies the command to that managed node and the applied command implements the specific change in how frequent the management data is reported from that managed node to the network management system.

25. A system to manage management data communicated between a network management system and a network of a plurality of managed nodes, the system comprising:
-
the plurality of managed nodes, wherein each of the plurality of the managed nodes collects management data about that managed node and report the management data to the network management system; and the network management system, coupled to the plurality of managed nodes, the network management system to receive the management data from the plurality of managed nodes, wherein the network management system includes, a system analysis module to detect an event occurring in the network system, determine the event triggers a system change in the type of the management data that is collected by two or more of the plurality of managed nodes, identifying the two or more of the plurality of managed nodes affected by the system change and for each of the two or more affected managed nodes, the system analysis module further to determine a command based on a rule matching that event from a set of rules for that managed node that represents a specific change in the type of the management data that is collected by that managed node, and sends the command from the network management system to an agent resident on that managed node, wherein the agent applies the command to that managed node and the applied command implements the specific change in the type of the management data that is collected by that managed node.
