In some examples, a computer receives event data relating to events of a system, and builds a graph comprising nodes representing respective values of attributes of the events, and edges between the nodes, each respective edge of the edges representing co-occurrence of values of attributes represented by nodes connected by the respective edge. The computer computes edge weights of corresponding edges of the edges, and identifies paths in the graph, where each path of the paths comprises two or more nodes and a corresponding edge or edges. The computer determines an affinity among the values of the attributes based on a shortest path determining process that uses the edge weights for distances of the identified paths, and resolves an anomaly in the system based on the determined affinity.

Affinity determination using graphs

Policies are communicated to a kernel service of an Operating System (OS) that define resource identifiers and events. When an event is received (from the kernel service) for a resource, the event is noted. Subsequent events received (from the kernel service) are: tracked, evaluated, and a determination is made whether a near real-time or real-time notification is to be sent.

Detection of non-volatile changes to a resource

Some embodiments of the present invention provide resource management systems, methods and computer program products that support web services by identifying a web service as an object in a common information model. Additional embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods and computer program products that provide web services from an object-oriented resource management system using a published web services description, e.g., a WSDL file.

Methods, systems and computer program products for web service interaction with a resource management system

A system and method for providing an improved namespace and object description system for enterprise management are disclosed. The system and method employ a hierarchical namespace with objects including prototypes and instances where an instance inherits traits from a prototype, such as attribute values and/or child objects.
