In various embodiments of the present invention, tiered command-propagation methods are employed within client computers to ensure that monitoring-and-management-related commands are reliably propagated from server computers to client computers. When possible, command propagation is initiated by server computers through a notification process. When the notification process is inoperable, client computers poll one or more monitoring-and-management server computer for commands. When a failed or interrupted notification process is subsequently restored to operability, client computers automatically discontinue command polling and resume relying on server notification for command propagation.

Adaptive client/server control protocol

A management apparatus that enables data collection and processing among one or more hosts and one or more devices by accumulating at least one message from a system, determining what processing the at least one message requires, constructing at least one generic actionhandler to process the at least one message using at least one director and at least one associated builder, and executing the at least one actionhandler to perform a desired action.

Management apparatus and method for data collection including accumulating messages and determining message handlers for processing the accumulated messages

A measurement apparatus which is reconfigurable in accordance with at least one category and at least one metric, to apply at least one threshold to the at least one category and at least one metric and generate at least one event exception if the at least one threshold is violated. The measurement apparatus is capable of setting one or more threshold for categories of events.
