Patent number: 7921199Abstract: A method and system for event notification is disclosed. In one implementation, the system includes at least one node, an event buffer, and a remote computing system. The node is configured to detect situations of interest on that node, and to generate events in response thereto. The node sends the events to the event buffer to be stored therein. The remote computing system is used to monitor the status of the node. The remote computing system obtains from a server a set of status information for the node, and displays the status information. The remote computing system then polls the event buffer for new events, and in response to detecting one or more new events, the remote computing system obtains from the server a set of updated status information for the node. The updated status information is then displayed to show the updated status of the node.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2003Date of Patent: April 5, 2011Assignee: Oracle America, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth W. Shirriff, Alexander G. Vul, Michael B. Goff

Patent number: 7805507Abstract: A method for managing an asset that includes identifying a relative location of a scheme, wherein the scheme is used to manage the asset, creating a relative Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) using the relative location, wherein the relative URI that includes at least one variable, and creating an entry in a native access interface definition, wherein the entry that includes the relative URI, wherein the native asset interface definition is bound to a data acquisition (DAQ) definition, and wherein the DAQ definition is an interface between a protocol handler and an information model, wherein managing the asset is performed using an actual URI to obtain management information, wherein the actual URI is obtained by replacing the at least one variable of the relative URI, and wherein the management information is transmitted to a management application.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2006Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Assignee: Oracle America, Inc.Inventors: Arieh Markel, Alexander G. Vul, Brandon Eugene Taylor, Peter H. Schow

Patent number: 7676475Abstract: A method for gathering management information about an asset that includes receiving a first request for the management information about the asset, wherein the first request complies with the information model format, identifying a data acquisition (DAQ) definition for the DAQ definition complies with the DAQ format, triggering a protocol handler according to the DAQ definition, receiving the management information from the protocol handler about the asset, and updating a cache entry with the management information.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2006Date of Patent: March 9, 2010Assignee: Sun Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Arieh Markel, Alexander G. Vul, Brandon Eugene Taylor, Peter H. Schow
