Abstract: A method is provided in association with a managed system having a substantial number of resources. The method includes the step of selecting an attribute that is common to all of the resources, wherein each resource has a status in regard to the selected attribute that is one of a plurality of prespecified statuses that are available for the attribute. The method further includes compressing the group of resources into a set of subgroups, wherein each subgroup corresponds to a different prespecified status of the plurality, and each resource having a given status is placed into the subgroup that corresponds to the given status. Each of the subgroups is represented by a display element on a single computer display screen, and specified information is displayed with each display element, wherein the specified information for a display element pertains to all of the resources placed into the subgroup that are represented by the display element.

Abstract: A method, operable on a processing device, for reducing the value of a browser fingerprint may include receiving, by the processing device, a request to provide a list of plugins installed on a browser. The method may also include generating, by the processing device, a fake list of plugins installed on the browser. The method may additionally include communicating, by the processing device, the fake list of plugins installed on the browser in response to the received request to provide a list of plugins installed on the browser.

Abstract: The exemplary embodiments provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for managing data. A graphical user interface is generated. The graphical user interface comprises a first selecting component for receiving a selection from a user of at least one attribute of a record from a set of records to be measured for relevancy, a second selecting component for receiving a selection from the user for a granularity of the at least one attribute to be measured for relevancy, and a displaying component for displaying a result to the user, wherein the result includes a visual representation of the relevancy of the at least one attribute selected by the user based on the granularity selected by the user.

Abstract: The exemplary embodiments provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for a graphical user interface for managing a plurality of internet protocol ranges. A plurality of internet protocol ranges are displayed in a control area. A user selects either a one-dimensional or a two-dimensional graphical representation of a portion of the plurality of internet protocol ranges. A visual representation of the internet address space of the plurality of internet protocol ranges is generated in a view manipulation component. A graphic display component displays the selected graphical representation of the portion of the plurality of internet protocol range.

Abstract: The exemplary embodiments provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for managing data. A user interface is generated. A user makes a selection at the user interface of at least one data type of a set of data types to be measured for relevancy. The set of data types comprise an age of data, modification of data, and access of data. The user also selects, at the user interface a granularity of the at least one data type to be measured. Data is collected from multiple sources. The collected data is analyzed to determine a relevance for the data type selected by the user based on the granularity selected by the user, which forms a result. The result is displayed to the user, by the user interface. The result includes a visual representation of the relevance of the data type selected by the user based on the granularity selected by the user.

Abstract: The present invention provides a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for managing a software installation. A graphical user interface is displayed for receiving user input to manage a software installation having multiple software installation tasks. A particular software installation task is initiated in response to the particular software installation task being selected from the multiple software installation tasks. The performance of the particular task is customized based on the selection of the option in response to a selection of an option during execution of the particular software installation task is received. At least one of the multiple software installation tasks may be scheduled and initiated independently from others of the multiple software installation tasks.

Abstract: A business enterprise level information technology management system database implementation providing search results responsive to a user query that filters the extensive data that may be generated in the search result so that the user and his need for data is taken into account. An implementation determining the role of the requesting user relative to the selected activities, tracking the frequency of use of the requesting user's actions relative to the selected activities and presenting the search results to the requesting user with suggested user actions customized based upon said role of the user and prioritized based upon said frequency of use.

Abstract: A data processing system, which includes a processor and a memory, is equipped with a system resource monitor, executable by the processor and stored in the memory, that displays a multi-level tree structure in which each level includes a textual identification for a respective one of multiple features in the data processing system. The features are monitored by the system resource monitor for information regarding the status of the features. This information further indicates a normal status or a notification status. If the information indicates a notification status, the system resource monitor also displays a notification indicia. If the monitored status includes more than one attribute, the placeholder icon and notification indicia are displayed in a window adjacent to the tree structure.
