摘要 |
The present invention is concerned with translating the object relationship model used in WMI to a tree-based structure (such as an OID tree structure) that will expose all functionality to a remote SNMP management system. A set of pre-specified WMI qualifiers is provided such that a developer, when creating WMI class definitions, adds those pre-specified WMI qualifiers as required. A MIB generator tool is provided which encapsulates rules and uses information about the pre-specified qualifiers in order to translate WMI classes into nodes in an OID structure. An agent is also provided which has access to information about the mapping between WMI classes and the OID structure and is able to translate SNMP commands to the corresponding WMI queries in order to obtain dynamic management information.
