ANY APPLICATION ANY AGENT
The present invention is that of an application management system. This application management system contains at least one application, and at least one monitoring agent configured to monitor at least one of the applications. The monitoring agent is further configured to collect data from the application (or applications) it is monitoring. A helper script configured to receive data from the monitoring agent and convert the data into a new data format is also included in the system. The helper script will send the data in its new format to at least one cloud proxy, which will then send the newly formatted data to an adapter.
1 . An application management system comprising:
A host with at least one application;
at least one monitoring agent configured to monitor at least one of said application, and further configured to collect data from said application;
a helper script configured to receive said data from said monitoring agent and convert said data into a new data format;
at least one cloud proxy configured to receive said new data format from said helper script; and
an adapter configured to receive said new data format from said proxy.
2 . The application system of claim 1 wherein, said helper script converts said data to a wavefront format.
3 . The application system of claim 1 wherein, if said host is being monitored then said adapter will manage said new data.
4 . The application system of claim 1 wherein, if said host is not being monitored then a physical adapter in said cloud proxy will manage said new data.
5 . The application system of claim 1 wherein, said adapter can discover a new application and create a relation with said new application.
6 . The application system of claim 1 wherein, said helper script allows a previously incompatible data format to function within the system by converting said data to said new data.
7 . The application system of claim 1 wherein, said agent will authenticate itself with said cloud proxy.
8 . The application system of claim 1 wherein, said adapter in said cloud proxy will have a generic data parser and a dynamic object builder which will dynamically create said application.
9 . The application system of claim 1 wherein, said adapter in said cloud proxy will build a relation from said host to a parent if said host is monitored.
10 . The application system of claim 1 wherein, said adapter has no limitations on a number of provided metrics within the system sizing guidelines.
11 . An application management system comprising:
A host with at least one application;
a monitoring agent configured to monitor at least one of said application, and further configured to collect data from said application;
a helper script configured to receive said data from said monitoring agent and convert said data into a new data format such that said helper script allows a previously incompatible data format to function within the system;
at least one cloud proxy configured to receive said new data format from said helper script; and
an adapter configured to receive said new data format from said proxy, wherein said adapter can discover a new application and create a relation with said new application.
12 . The application system of claim 9 wherein, said helper script converts said data to a wavefront format.
13 . The application system of claim 9 wherein, if said host is being monitored then said adapter will manage said new data.
14 . The application system of claim 9 wherein, if said host is not being monitored then a physical adapter in said cloud proxy will manage said new data.
15 . The application system of claim 9 wherein, said agent will authenticate itself with said cloud proxy.
16 . An application management system comprising:
A host with at least one application;
a monitoring agent configured to monitor at least one of said application, and further configured to collect data from said application;
a helper script configured to receive said data from said monitoring agent and convert said data into a wavefront data format such that said helper script allows a previously incompatible data format to function within the system;
at least one cloud proxy configured to receive said wavefront data from said helper script; and
an adapter configured to receive said wavefront data from said proxy, wherein said adapter can discover a new application and create a relation with said new application.
17 . The application system of claim 15 wherein, if said host is being monitored then said adapter will manage said wavefront data.
18 . The application system of claim 15 wherein, if said host is not being monitored then a physical adapter in said cloud proxy will manage said wavefront data.
19 . The application system of claim 15 wherein, said agent will authenticate itself with said cloud proxy.
