Abstract: Disclosed herein is a server management apparatus, comprising: a server information acquisition unit configured to acquire, from a plurality of servers respectively, server information on a server and hardware component information on hardware components included in the server, using an identifier of a control board of the server as a key; an analysis unit configured to analyze the server information and the hardware component information acquired by the server information acquisition unit, and generate a server status flag indicating whether or not any of the server and the hardware components has an abnormality; and a structured file generation unit configured to generate a structured file that hierarchically stores, in a human-readable format, the server information and the hardware component information acquired by the server information acquisition unit, the structured file including a header describing the server status flag generated by the analysis unit.

Abstract: A monitoring system includes a non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store instructions; and a processor. The processor is configured to execute the instructions for retrieving performance data from a performance network register (PNR) for each of a plurality of servers, wherein the servers are configured to implement a functionality of the system, and retrieving the performance data includes avoiding directly accessing the servers. The processor is configured to execute the instructions for storing the received performance data for each server in association with identification information for a corresponding server. The processor is configured to execute the instructions for receiving parameters for generating a display of monitored data. The processor is further configured to execute the instructions for accessing the stored performance data to generate the display of monitored data; and transmitting the display of monitored data to at least one operator system.
