Abstract: Monitoring knowledge is distilled into platform-nonspecific patterns of high-level language elements compiled into management packs or other rule packs targeting specific platforms. A server health and/or configuration monitoring knowledge compiler accepts distillation document(s) and target-specific information, and generates target-specific rule packs to be consumed by monitoring tools to monitor specific target platforms consistent with the platform-nonspecific monitoring elements. Computational rule pack generation is qualitatively different from manual rule pack creation. Plug-ins tailor the compiler to generate on-premises or cloud-based rule packs. Distillation element examples include monitor alert types, instructional content types, target attributes and tags, monitored item types, event alert types, performance collection types, policy monitor types, and threshold monitor types.

Abstract: A system and method for enhancing XML schemas is presented. A schema enhancer inputs an input schema, a parameter file, and (optionally) a preamble file to generate an enhanced schema. The optional preamble file comprises definitions and syntax for elements and/or attributes to be added and/or to modify relationships in the input schema to create the enhanced schema. Instructions for modifying the input schema to generate the enhanced schema comprise the parameter file.
