Abstract
A management server uses one or more performance monitoring data collectors to generate SNMP queries. Each collector can be configured to specify one or more performance parameters. Using each configured collector, the management server can collect performance parameter data for managed devices in a network. When the management server receives performance data, the management server traverses through each response to look for performance values associated with each performance parameter. The management server can dynamically create and destroy performance monitoring instances supported by each collector to accommodate components added to or removed from the devices in the managed network.
