Methods and apparatus for implementing a data management framework to collect network management data

摘要

A system receives identification of at least one data structure to contain the network management data associated with the managed resource. The system receives notification that at least one type adapter structure has been created. The type adapter is associated with the data structure. The system receives identification of at least one key common to the data structure, and the network management data. The system receives notification that methods within the at least one type adapter structure have been implemented to enable the network management data to be mapped from the at least one data structure to a managed object database.

1. A computer-implemented method of enabling a data management framework to collect network management data from a managed resource, the method comprising:
receiving identification of an non-managed resource to be managed within the data management framework; receiving identification of at least one data structure in the data management framework to contain the network management data associated with the non-managed resource to be managed within the data management framework; receiving the network management data associated with the non-managed resource in the at least one data structure of the data management framework; receiving notification that at least one type-adapter class structure has been created in the data management framework, the at least one type-adapter class structure created by an administrator of the data management framework, associated with the at least one data structure, and corresponding to the non-managed resource from which network management data was received; receiving identification of at least one key common to the at least one data structure and the network management data; and receiving notification that methods within the at least one type-adapter class structure have been implemented to enable the network management data to be mapped from the at least one data structure to a managed object database enabling the data management framework to collect network management data from the previously non-managed resource as a managed resource.
