Abstract:
1. A system management method in a computer system including a node apparatus to be monitored, and a management system, which is coupled to the node apparatus using a network and which is configured to manage the node apparatus, the method comprising: by the management system, acquiring a processing performance value representing processing performance of a configuration device configuring the node apparatus, by the management system, detecting an abnormality in the performance of the configuration device on the basis of comparison between a threshold set for the configuration device and the acquired processing performance value, by the management system, specifying a configuration device whose threshold needs to be corrected by collating the detected performance of each of the configuration devices with an analysis rule representing a relationship between a combination of one or more condition events which can be generated in the node apparatus, and a conclusion event which is estimated as a root cause of the combination of the condition events, and by the management system, adjusting the threshold of the specified configuration device and managing the node apparatus by using the adjusted threshold; wherein adjusting threshold further comprises, by the management system, changing into the adjusted threshold the threshold of the configuration device which is included in the other node apparatus different from the node apparatus having the specified configuration device, and which is the same as the specified configuration device; wherein the management system has, in a memory, threshold correction priority information according to the kind of the configuration device; wherein the analysis rule has, as the condition event, a combination of a cause event directly relating to a root cause of a fault and a related event generated together with the cause event at the time of generation of the fault; and wherein the priority of the configuration device, which is configured to generate the cause event, is set higher than the priority of the configuration device, which is configured to generate the related event; the method further comprising:
