Abstract:
1. A monitoring device comprising: a monitoring manager configured to set up a monitoring setting information to a first monitoring agent installed in a first monitored device and a second monitoring agent installed in a second monitored device, and configured to receive monitoring data comprising resource consumption of a hardware or a software from the first and the second monitoring agents, and configured to store the received monitoring data in a monitoring data storage unit; and the first monitoring agent monitors hardware or software of the first monitored device according to monitoring setting information comprising metrics regarding the resource of the first monitored device; and the second monitoring agent monitors hardware or software of the second monitored device according to monitoring setting information comprising metrics regarding the resource of the second monitored device; and a diverting condition storage unit that stores diverting conditions comprising resource requirement of the second monitored device for setting a monitoring setting information of the first monitoring agent as a monitoring setting information of the second monitoring agent; and a diverting unit that receives an identifier of the second monitored device, and judges if the monitoring setting information of the first monitored agent is available to be set as the monitoring setting information of the second monitored agent by referencing the monitoring data of the first monitored device and the diverting conditions of the second monitored device, and outputs the judged result when shows the monitoring setting information of the first monitoring agent is available to be set as a monitoring setting information of the second monitoring agent.
