Method and system for configuring a network computer to distinguish between a first address path for a first logging module and a second address path for a second logging module for a log report, using full distinguished names (FDNs) that provide first and second address paths for the first and second logging modules, where the first and second address paths have different object level addresses at an object level immediately below the root level. Where a local distinguished name (LDN) (or relative distinguished name RDN) is used for an address path, the system forwards a log report to an associated Log Server only if the first component of the address path is a selected object level address, such as '/system'.

Independent log containment hierarchy

A computer implemented method and a computer program product includes a first computer readable code construct configured to handle request messages. This comprises receiving a request message and having an associated user name which is associated with a remote user on a network. Further, making an access determination to determine whether the forwarding of the request message is authorized, and finally when forwarding of the request message is authorized, the message to a target system is forwarded.

APPARATUS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR NETWORK MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS RELATING TO NETWORK MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL ADAPTER SECURITY SOFTWARE (MPASS) FOR MESSAGING WITH USER NAME ACCESS IDENTIFICATION

A method of and system for control of access to add an event notification as a log record in a computer system. Each potential log record is associated with one or more logs, each of which has one or more log owners. Grant of access to add a log record to the information in a particular log is restricted to the owner(s) of that log. A list of owners of a log can be changed from time to time, based upon present circumstances or the presence of special conditions.

Domain access control for logging systems

Software, methods, and systems for representing devices on a computer network are described. In one embodiment, the system of the invention includes a topology service. The topology service includes a protocol interface mechanism, an engine, and a database support mechanism. The topology service is coupled with a data storage mechanism. In a more specific embodiment, the protocol interface mechanism, engine, and database support mechanism each configured to operate as independent components.

System for representing device topology in a computer network operable independent of network management software

Software, method, and systems for representing devices on a computer network are described. In one embodiment the invention comprises a method which identifies devices on a computer network; creates topology objects configured to represent the devices; associates the topology objects with the identified devices; stores the associated topology objects in a database managed by a topology service. The embodiment further is capable of receiving an alarm notification regarding a device having an associated topology object stored in the database, extracting the topology object, and acting on said topology object update an alarm count in the topology object; propagate the alarm notice to other topology nodes associated with the topology object; store information related to the alarm and the database; and notifying other services on the computer network. Other embodiments update the relationships between the devices and associated topology objects stored in the database.
