Domain Manager

A
Domain Manager
is a service assurance application that is associated with a particular type of information technology domain, such as networks, systems, applications, or application services. For
IP Manager
, the domain is IP network transport. A Domain Manager includes a Repository of the managed topology and a problem correlation model that monitors network elements, uses correlation technology to pinpoint the root causes of failures, and diagnoses the effects of failures on related elements. Domain Managers report results to the Global Manager for consolidation, and display through the Global Console.
Each
Domain Manager
is autonomous in the sense that it:
  • Maintains its own data models, repository, and problem signatures.
  • Monitors and analyzes the discovered objects in its own domain.
