Performance information monitoring system, method and program

Abstract

A performance information monitoring method using computers includes the steps of accepting information on a group relating to a first computer in the first computer; storing the accepted group information in a storage in the first computer; accepting performance information from a second computer in the first computer; comparing performance information of the second computer previously stored in a storage with the performance information received from the second computer in the first computer; judging whether or not the second computer is included in the information of the group when finding a difference between the performance information in the comparison result; and transmitting an instruction to the computer included in the group information to change a performance information collection interval according to the judgment result.

1 - 2 . (canceled)  
   
   
       3 . A screen displaying method using a first computer, comprising the steps of: 
 displaying a host name of a second computer and a volume name of a volume managed by said second computer on said first computer on the basis of information acquired from said second computer;    receiving information about a use state of the volume managed by said second computer from said second computer; and    displaying as highlighted the volume name of the volume when the information of the use state of the volume corresponding to said displayed volume name satisfies predetermined conditions.    
   
   
       4 . The method as set forth in  claim 3 , wherein said volume use-state information includes at least one of a volume capacity, a volume used capacity, and a volume free capacity.  
   
   
       5 . A program implemented by a computer for displaying performance information on a display screen of a first computer, said program comprising: 
 a process for displaying a host name of a second computer a volume name of a volume managed by said second computer on the basis of information acquired from the second computer;    a process for receiving information about a use state of the volume managed by said second computer from the second computer;    a process for judging whether or not the information of the use state of the volume corresponding to said displayed volume name satisfies predetermined conditions; and    a process for changing a display of the volume name corresponding to the volume according to said judgment result.    
   
   
       6 . The program as set forth in  claim 5 , wherein said predetermined conditions include any one of a volume used capacity and a volume free capacity.  
   
   
       7 - 10 . (canceled)  
   
   
       10 . A performance information displaying system using a first computer comprising: 
 means for displaying a host name of a second computer and a volume name of a volume managed by said second computer on the basis of information acquired from the second computer;    means for receiving information about a use state of the volume managed by said second computer; and    means for highlightedly displaying the volume name corresponding to the volume when the information of the use of the volume corresponding to said displayed volume name satisfies predetermined conditions.
