Method and system for network management with adaptive queue management

摘要

A method, system, apparatus, and computer program product is presented for management of a distributed data processing system. A management process discovers endpoints on a network within the distributed data processing system using a network management framework, and a state of the network is determined from a collective state of discovered endpoints. Data generated by the network management framework is queued while waiting to be persisted within a distributed database. An adaptive queue management scheme controls the data flow through a set of queues and adapts its management of those queues in accordance with the collective state of the network. Administrative users of the network management framework may set configuration parameters for the adaptive queue management mechanism.
