RESOURCE-AWARE MANAGEMENT OF REQUEST TRAFFIC BASED ON A MANAGEMENT POLICY

摘要

Under the present invention, the performance of a set of system resources (14) is monitored in response to incoming request traffic (18). When a system resource is approaching an overload condition, a corrective action is identified (108) and implemented. Overload thresholds for each system resource and appropriate corrective actions are contained within a management policy (40). Based on a performance history of the corrective actions, the management policy can be changed/revised.
