Patent ID: 8135997

Claim:
A method for integrated monitoring of fault and performance information in an integrated management system environment including an integrated management server interworking with a managed server having a built-in agent for the sake of integrated management of a variety of management information, the method comprising the steps of: (a) collecting, at the agent, in real time, fault information data of the managed server using queues, wherein the agent periodically checks whether or not a fault of a specific application occurs in the managed server, and fault information data generated upon occurrence of a fault is sequentially stored in an input queue; (b) periodically collecting, at the agent, performance information data of the managed server using a function-specific remote function module (RFM); (c) converting, at the agent, the fault and performance information data collected from the managed server into a format recognizable by the integrated management server, and transferring the fault and performance information data, wherein the agent periodically checks the input queue, converts the fault information data stored in the input queue into a format recognizable by the integrated management server and transfers the fault information data to the integrated management server; (d) receiving, at the integrated management server, the fault information data from the agent, and generating and transferring an event message to a corresponding administrator terminal; and (e) receiving, at the integrated management server, the performance information data from the agent and storing the performance information data in a previously prepared database (DB); wherein when transfer of the fault information data is completed normally, the agent sequentially stores the fault information data in an output queue and, after a predetermined time period, deletes the fault information data stored in the output queue.
