Adjusted monitoring in a relational environment
View Patent ↗A system, method and apparatus for adjustable performance monitoring in a relational environment. The system can include a registry of related applications, at least two performance monitors communicatively linked to one another and coupled to respective related applications listed in the registry, and a set of adjustable monitoring parameters for each of the performance monitors. The system further can include a policy engine coupled to at least one of the performance monitors and configured to process a policy for defining an adjustment of a corresponding set of the adjustable monitoring parameters based upon an indication received from a communicatively linked one of the performance monitors.
1. A method for adjusted monitoring in a relational environment the method comprising the steps of:
measuring resource values in a coupled application;
detecting an indication arising from said measurement;
locating an application related to said coupled application; and,
transmitting a notification of said indication to a performance monitor coupled to said related application;
wherein said detecting step comprises comparing said measured resource values to a pre-defined threshold; and, where said measured resource values exceed said threshold, declaring an indication.
2. A method for adjusted monitoring in a relational environment the method comprising the steps of:
measuring resource values in a coupled application;
detecting an indication arising from said measurement;
locating an application related to said coupled application; and,
transmitting a notification of said indication to a performance monitor coupled to said related application;
wherein said detecting step comprises comparing said measured resource values to a pre-defined threshold; and, where said measured resource values fail to meet said threshold, declaring an indication.
3. A method for adjusted monitoring in a relational environment the method comprising the steps of:
measuring resource values in a coupled application;
detecting an indication arising from said measurement;
locating an application related to said coupled application;
transmitting a notification of said indication to a performance monitor coupled to said related application;
detecting said related application through a configuration of said coupled application; and,
recording said detected relationship in said registry.
4. A method for adjusted monitoring in a relational environment the method comprising the steps of:
measuring resource values in a coupled application;
detecting an indication arising from said measurement;
locating an application related to said coupled application;
transmitting a notification of said indication to a performance monitor coupled to said related application; and,
adjusting performance monitor parameters responsive to said detection.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein said adjusting step comprises the steps of:
loading an adjustment policy specifying limitations on adjusting performance monitor parameters in response to specific indications; and,
limiting said adjustment of said performance monitor parameters based upon said policy.
6. A machine readable storage having stored thereon a computer program for adjusted monitoring in a relational environment, the computer program comprising a routine set of instructions for causing the machine to perform the steps of:
measuring resource values in a coupled application;
detecting an indication arising from said measurement;
locating an application related to said coupled application; and,
transmitting a notification of said indication to a performance monitor coupled to said related application;
wherein said detecting step comprises comparing said measured resource values to a pre-defined threshold; and, where said measured resource values exceed said threshold, declaring an indication.
7. A machine readable storage having stored thereon a computer program for adjusted monitoring in a relational environment, the computer program comprising a routine set of instructions for causing the machine to perform the steps of:
measuring resource values in a coupled application;
detecting an indication arising from said measurement;
locating an application related to said coupled application; and,
transmitting a notification of said indication to a performance monitor coupled to said related application;
wherein said detecting step comprises comparing said measured resource values to a pre-defined threshold; and, where said measured resource values fail to meet said threshold, declaring an indication.

9. A machine readable storage having stored thereon a computer program for adjusted monitoring in a relational environment, the computer program comprising a routine set of instructions for causing the machine to perform the steps of:
measuring resource values in a coupled application;
detecting an indication arising from said measurement;
locating an application related to said coupled application;
transmitting a notification of said indication to a performance monitor coupled to said related application; and,
adjusting performance monitor parameters responsive to said detection.
10. The machine readable storage of claim 9 , wherein said adjusting step comprises the steps of:
loading an adjustment policy specifying limitations on adjusting performance monitor parameters in response to specific indications; and,
limiting said adjustment of said performance monitor parameters based upon policy.
