Change monitoring program for computer resource on network
First Claim
1. A change monitoring program of a computer resource on a network executed by a processor of a server computer that includes a communication device that can communicate with a managing target computer, which can voluntarily detect a resource change by executing an agent program to describe the resource change as a log and to transmit the log, through a network and a change-plan database that stores details of resource changes for said managing target computer, said program comprising:
- a comparison process for comparing, when said communication device receives the log transmitted by said managing target computer, the contents of resource change described in said log to the details of each resource change stored in said change-plan database; and
an output process to output, when the contents of said resource change described in said log match any of the details of resource changes stored in said change-plan database, the information showing that said resource has been changed as planned to an administrator.

Abstract
A change monitoring program is executed by a processor of a server computer that includes a communication device that communicates with a managing target computer through a network and a change-plan database that stores details of resource changes for the managing target computer. The management target computer voluntarily detects a resource change by executing an agent program to describe the resource change as a log and to transmit it. The program contains a comparison process and an output process. In the comparison process, when the communication device receives the log transmitted by the managing target computer, the processor compares the content of resource change described in the log to the details of resource changes stored in the change-plan database. When the content matches any of the details, the processor executes the output process to output the information showing that the resource has been changed as planned to an administrator.

2. A change monitoring program of a computer resource on a network executed by a processor of a server computer that includes a communication device that can communicate with a managing target computer, which can voluntarily detect a resource change by executing an agent program to describe the resource change as a log and to transmit the log, through a network, a change-plan database that stores details of resource changes for said managing target computer, a log database that stores said logs, and an input device through which an administrator inputs commands, said program comprising:
-
a storing process for storing, when said communication device receives a log transmitted by a managing target computer, the received log into said log database; a comparison process for comparing, when a command that designates a predetermined time period is input through said input device, the contents of resource change described in the log to the details of resource changes stored in the change-plan database for each of the logs received during said time period among the logs stored in said log database; and an output process to output, when the contents of said resource change described in said log match any of the details of resource changes stored in said change-plan database, the information showing that said resource has been changed as planned to an administrator.
