A management information repository for distributed applications management

The Management of Distributed Applications and Systems (MANDAS) project addresses problems arising in the management of distributed applications. Specifically, we are studying the areas of configuration management, fault management, performance management, and application metrics and modeling. We are also investigating the tools, techniques and services needed to support the above management applications. The MANDAS Management Information Repository (MIR) provides database support for the management applications and supports their integration into a single management environment. In this paper we examine the problem of distributed applications management to extract the requirements for a MIR. Based on the requirements, we present an information model for distributed applications management and outline a prototype MIR developed for the MANDAS project.
