Generating configuration files

摘要

A method of generating a configuration file is disclosed. According to an embodiment of the invention, the configuration file specifies how an object of a plurality of objects is to be monitored by an agent of an operational management system. The method comprises the step of providing a data file comprising a plurality of parameter settings for a plurality of parameters used to monitor the plurality of objects of the operational management system. The method in accordance with the invention further comprises the step of retrieving a subset of parameter settings from the plurality of parameter settings, wherein the retrieved subset of parameter settings provides specifications for a subset of parameters of the plurality of parameters, wherein the subset of parameters is used to monitor the object. In a further step the configuration file is generated by integrating the subset of parameter settings into a template, wherein the template comprises the subset of parameters, and wherein the parameter settings are assigned to the corresponding parameters.
