Method and system for network management with per-endpoint monitoring based on application life cycle

摘要

A method, system, apparatus, and computer program product is presented for management of a distributed data processing system. A network management framework provides the ability to limit the frequency of discovery/scanning and/or monitoring on an endpoint-by-endpoint basis. A status polling interval can be dynamically determined for each endpoint throughout a highly distributed system whether or not the endpoints are situated behind routers, firewalls, slow communication links, etc. The monitoring operations can be set in accordance with a phase/life cycle of a performance monitoring component.
