A CIM-based framework to manage monitoring adaptability

Integrated management should cope with numerous, heterogeneous and complex systems. In this context, the monitoring activity should be sensitive and efficiently reactive to both variations of management applications requirements and environmental constraints. This paper introduces concepts, definitions, information models and algorithms to manage monitoring adaptation enforcement. A CIM/WBEM implementation has been realized as proof of concept and tested to measure the management overhead generated by the proposed approach. This framework aims at being generic enough to support any software solutions providing monitoring adaptation decisions.
