Centralized, scalable, resource monitoring system
A method, apparatus, and computer program product are disclosed to provide host-independent resource monitoring for distributed networks. The method includes determining, from a set of jobs, one or more jobs to execute that monitor the status of resources within a distributed network. The method determines one or more environments in which to run the one or more jobs, and instantiates the one or more jobs with one or more environment variables for the determined one or more environments such that the one or more jobs are configured for operation in the determined one or more environments. The method accordingly displays, using a graphical user interface, a job environment matrix including a list of the set of jobs in conjunction with a running status of each of the jobs in each of one or more environments. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.

obtain a domain parameter modification request, wherein the domain parameter modification request comprises modification instructions associated with a domain parameter set for at least one monitored database of the one or more monitored databases, and wherein the domain parameter set comprises, for each user profile of a plurality of user profiles associated with the at least one monitored database, a user access permission level with respect to the at least one monitored database, and further wherein the modification instructions associated with the domain parameter set trigger addition of a new user profile to the plurality of user profiles and associating the new user profile with a corresponding user access permission level; and
update the execution domain in accordance with the domain parameter modification request.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the execution domain is associated with execution of the one or more resource monitoring jobs with respect to the one or more monitored databases.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:
the domain parameter set comprises a job list parameter describing the one or more resource monitoring jobs;
the domain parameter modification request comprises a job addition request to add a new resource monitoring job to the one or more resource monitoring jobs; and

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:
updating the execution domain comprises enabling the new user profile to access the execution domain based on the corresponding user access permission level.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:
the domain parameter modification request comprises a permission modification request to modify the user access permission level for an existing user profile of the plurality of user profiles to a modified user access permission level; and
updating the execution domain comprises enabling the existing user profile to access the execution domain based on the modified user access permission level.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the user access permission level for each user profile of the plurality of user profiles defines whether the user profile may modify a job list parameter describing the one or more resource monitoring jobs.
8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the user access permission level for each user profile defines whether the user profile may modify an environment list parameter describing one or more computing environments associated with the one or more monitored databases.
9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:
the execution domain is associated with one or more data resources; and
the user access permission level for each user profile defines whether the user profile may modify each of the one or more data resources.
10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:
the execution domain is associated with one or more data resources; and
the user access permission level for each user profile defines whether the user profile may view each of the one or more data resources.
11. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the user access permission level for at least one user profile is a read-only user access permission level.
12. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the user access permission level for at least one user profile is an administrator permission status.
13. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the domain parameter set comprises a first parameter that describes one or more network addresses for the one or more monitored databases.
14. A computer-implemented method comprising:
identifying an execution domain, wherein the execution domain is associated with one or more resource monitoring jobs and one or more monitored databases;
obtaining a domain parameter modification request, wherein the domain parameter modification request comprises modification instructions associated with a domain parameter set for at least one monitored database of the one or more monitored databases, and wherein the domain parameter set comprises, for each user profile of a plurality of user profiles associated with the at least one monitored database, a user access permission level with respect to the at least one monitored database, and further wherein the modification instructions associated with the domain parameter set trigger addition of a new user profile to the plurality of user profiles and associating the new user profile with a corresponding user access permission level; and
updating the execution domain in accordance with the domain parameter modification request.
15. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein the execution domain is associated with execution of the one or more resource monitoring jobs with respect to the one or more monitored databases.
16. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein:
the domain parameter set comprises a job list parameter describing the one or more resource monitoring jobs;
the domain parameter modification request comprises a job addition request to add a new resource monitoring job to the one or more resource monitoring jobs; and
updating the execution domain comprises instantiating the new resource monitoring job with respect to the one or more monitored databases.
17. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein:
the domain parameter set comprises a database list parameter describing the one or more monitored databases;
the domain parameter modification request comprises a database addition request to add a new monitored database to the one or more monitored databases; and
updating the execution domain comprises instantiating each of the one or more resource monitoring jobs with respect to the one or more monitored databases.
