elements.Managed element | Definition |
|---|---|
Bridge | Isa UnitaryComputerSystemthat 'bridges' packets at the link layer
between physically separate segments. |
DirectoryServer | Represents aspecialized server whose job is to respond to
requests for specific resources, services, users, groups, and so
on. |
DNSService | Represents a Domain Name Services server for hostname to IP
address and IP address to hostname resolution. |
Firewall | Is a node that provides firewall functionality. |
FirewallService | Represents a firewall application; a software component which
acts as agatekeeper of networks deciding which packets are allowed
to pass fromone network to another. |
FTPService | Represents a File Transfer Protocol Service for exchanging files
between computers on anetwork. |
Host | Is a UnitaryComputerSystemthat represents aworkstation or
server. |
Hub | Is a ComputerSystemthat connects multiple physical segments. A
hub may be'unintelligent' in that it does not discriminate the
segments connecting to it, for example, it relays traffic through
all ports. Contrast this witha Switch or Bridge which maintains
information about device location and only forwards traffic through
specific ports based onthe destination address. |
IMAPService | Represents a Post Office Protocol server which allows users to
remotely manage e-mail arriving in their inbox using the IMAP
protocol. |
InChargeServic e | Represents an InCharge application. |
IP | Is the IP-layer characteristics of a network-attached
interface. |
LDAPService | Represents a LDAP server for directory access. |
LoadBalancer | Is aspecial systemwhich uses a heuristic algorithmto distribute
work units to its components. |
MailServer | Represents a programthat distributes files or information in
response torequests sent through e-mail. MailServer
contains additional information. |
MessageQueu eService | Represents an application that provides queue-based messaging
services. |
MgmtAgent | Represents amanagement agent running on ahost that monitors
operating systemand application parameters. |
MgmtService | Models an application that provides management functionality. The
rationale for this sub-class was to clearly distinguish management
applications fromtheservice-delivery applications they manage. MgmtService contains additional information. |
MgmtServiceC heck | Represents acheck to verify that the Management interface of the
SoftwareElement is accessible or functional. MgmtServiceCheck contains additional
information. |
MSFC | Represents aMultilayer Switch Feature Card. Such a module is
often installed as a Card ina Switch to performrouting between
VLANs. |
NameServer | Represents aname resolution server. Several domains use these
types of servicestoresolve names into addresses or other kinds of
information. |
NNTPService | Represents a Network News Transfer Protocol Service for managing
notes posted on newsgroups. |
Node | Represents ageneric computer system. |
POPService | Represents a Post Office Protocol server which allows users to
remotely retrieve e-mail fromtheir inbox using the
POPprotocol. |
Probe | Is a ComputerSystemthat monitors networks or systems. For
example, an RMONprobe. |
ProtocolEndpoi nt | Represents a communication point of the network element from
which data may be sent or received. For example, a router interface
or a switch. ProtocolEndpoint contains additional
information. |
RedundancyGr oup | Represents aspecial collection of managed systemelements. The
aggregated components together provide redundancy. All elements
aggregated inaredundancy group should beinstances of thesameobject
class. RedundancyGroup contains additional information. |
Router | Is a UnitaryComputerSystemthat routes packets between computer
networks. Routers operate at Layer 3 of the OSI model. |
RSFC | Represents a Route Switch Feature Card. The RSFCruns Cisco IOS
router software and directly interfaces to the catalyst switch
backplane to provide inter VLAN routing. |
RSM | Represents a Router Switch Module. Sucha module is often
installed as a Card in a Switch to performrouting between
VLANs. |
SecureShellSer vice | Represents the software that enables SSH clients to connect
remotelly to amachine through a secure(encrypted and authenticated)
communications channel. |
SMTPService | Represents a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol Service for sending
and receiving electronic mail. |
SNMPAgent | Represents an SNMP agent running ina system. An SNMP agent
implements one or more MIBs and provides access to the MIB data to
SNMP management applications using the SNMPprotocol. |
Software Process | Represents asingle instance of arunningprogramdefined by a
workspace of memory resources and environmental settings that are
allocated to it. Auser of the operating systemwill typically see a
software process as an application or a task. SoftwareProcess contains additional information. |
SoftwareComp onent | Represents a software
element that provides support for, and is executing in the
context of, a SoftwareService. SoftwareComponents do
not provide the full service, rather they formbuilding blocks
for the implementation of a SoftwareService.
SoftwareComponent contains additional
information. |
SoftwareConne ction | Aggregates multiple sessions and transactions connecting two
applications into a single logical entity. SoftwareConnection contains additional
information. |
SoftwareEleme ntCheck | Represents acheck done toverify status or performance of
SoftwareElement(s). SoftwareElementCheck contains additional
information. |
SoftwareReque st | Models a particular interaction or message exchange between
services. SoftwareRequest contains additional information. |
SoftwareServic e | Represents a software task. Instrumentation about the
availability and response timeof an service—froma URL page monitor,
for example—should beassociated with checks. The ComposedOf
relationship models the decomposition of a SoftwareService into more
detailed components. The LayeredOver relationship models a service
that is directly dependent on another service. Both services must be
hostedby thesame system. SoftwareService contains additional information. |
SoftwareServic eRedundancyG roup | Represents a collection of SoftwareServices that together
implement a service. The multiple instances of the application are
typically accessed ina fault tolerant manner thereby providing
application redundancy. SoftwareServiceRedundancyGroup contains additional
information. |
SoftwareSessio n | Models a persistent connection between services. SoftwareSession contains additional information. |
Switch | Is a UnitaryComputerSystemthat 'switches' packets, typically at
wire speeds, between physically separate segments. |
SystemRedund ancyGroup | Represents acollection of systems that provide
redundancy. |
TCP | Describes the characteristics of a TCP listening EndPoint as is
used by network services such as HTTP servers. |
TCPConnectivit yCheck | Represents a check ona SoftwareElement that verifies the TCP
connectivity to the SoftwareElement. TCPConnectivityCheck contains additional
information. |
TelnetService | Represents the software that enables Telnet clients to connect
remotelly to amachine via atext based interface. |
TerminalServer | Is a ComputerSystemthat represents a Terminal Server or similar
access device. |
TerminalServic e | Represents a software service that enables users to remotely
interact with a computer systemas if they were at a local console.
TerminalService contains additional information. |
Uncertified | Is used to identify asystemthat has not yet been certified by the
InCharge discovery sub-system. |
UnitaryComput erSystem | Represents computer systems. Computer systems are logical
elements that host application services and are composed of file
systems, disks, memory, and processors. UnitaryComputerSystem contains additional
information. |
VirtualSoftware Service | Represents the logical service provided by an application
redundancy group. The VirtualApplication is LayeredOver the
RedundancyGroup that implements the service. VirtualSoftwareService contains additional
information. |
VirtualTCP | Represents agroup of TCPs that are load balanced. |
WebTier | Is alogical grouping of software services, redundancy groups, and
systems whichimplement theWeb-basedaccess totheapplication
service. |
