Filed:

Oct 31, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/698675

Inventors:

Bingjun Li - Rohnert Park CA, US
William Huang - San Ramon CA, US
Liming Gao - Alameda CA, US
Dong Li - Nanshan, CN

International Classification:

G06F015/173
G06F015/16

US Classification:

709224000, 709206000

Abstract:

A system for network management incorporates Presence and Instant messaging (PIM) techniques. A presence service is used to support the presence discovery of network elements as well as the resources, and services provided by the network elements. An instant messaging service is used for communication between the Element Management System (EMS) and the network elements to support FACPS functionalities. XML is employed as the instant messaging format for the communication between EMS and network elements and adaptors to SNMP, CMIP, and other existing network management protocols are provided. The presence service also allows the presence of NMS, EMS, and SMS to be transparent. Use of buddy group PIM techniques to implement the management relationship between EMS and network elements, and relationship between EMS and NMS is employed. The PIM provides monitoring of servers, network elements, and resources.

International Classification:

H04L 12/26
G06F 17/30

Abstract:

A system and method for management of network monitoring information includes a non-transient memory and one or more processors coupled to the non-transient memory and configured to read instructions from the non-transient memory to cause the information handling system to perform operations, The operations include collecting real-time network monitoring information from one or more network switching units, storing the collected real-time network monitoring information in a data storage system using a first column family, periodically aggregating the collected real-time network monitoring information to generate corresponding history information, storing the aggregated history information in the data storage system using a second column family different from the first column family, retrieving information from the data storage system based on one or more first queries, the stored real-time network monitoring information, and the stored aggregated history information, and providing the retrieved information for use during network monitoring.

US Classification:

707737

Abstract:

A system and method for management of network monitoring information includes a data collector for collecting real-time network information from network switching units, an aggregator for periodically aggregating the collected real-time network information and generating corresponding history information, a preprocessor for periodically determining results for first queries based on the collected real-time network information and the history information, a data storage system, and a data retriever for retrieving information from the data storage system. The data storage system stores the collected real-time network information, the aggregated history information, and the preprocessed results of the first queries. The data storage system also periodically purges the stored real-time information based on a first time-to-live value and the stored history information based on a second time-to-live value. The information is retrieved based on the stored real-time network and history information, the stored preprocessed results of the first queries, the first queries, and second queries different from the first queries.
