  • Method, system, and program for monitoring system components
    Patent number: 6751753
    Abstract: Provided is a method, system, program, and data structure for deriving state information concerning a monitored system component. A status object is provided including information on a current state of the monitored system component. There are a plurality of states associated with the monitored system component, wherein each state is capable of having a state action and at least one transition condition associated with a transition state. A measured system parameter is received and a determination is made as to whether the received measured system parameter satisfies one transition condition associated with the current state indicated in the status object. If the received system parameter satisfies one transition condition, then the state action associated with the transition state associated with the satisfied transition condition is performed. The current state is set to the transition state in the status object.
