Abstract

To have flexible and standard application management infrastructures, many industry specifications are defined. Most of them define a lot of interfaces and functions to be implemented by the managed applications, but they also increase the development effort, especially when applications are more and more complex today. We need an approach to adding management functions more efficiently. In the paper, we propose an approach to adding management mechanism to applications automatically. System developers will not care about the management functions. If the application encounters any problems, the management function will detect the error and pass related information to the management system automatically. Then, the management system will know where the problem is. Adding the management function does not have to modify the program code. It only needs to analyze managed resources and find the underlying APIs. Through the method, there will be no extra effort for system design and develop. Distributed system management will become easy.
