Abstract

A system, method, and computer-readable medium for performing a data center monitoring and management operation. The data center monitoring and management operation includes: generating a data tag for an object within a data center asset, the generating the data tag for the object associating a contextual meaning with the object; mapping the data tag to the object, the mapping the data tag to the object associating a data tag with the object; determining when an aspect of the data tag is changed; and, automatically updating the data tag to provide an updated data tag, the automatically updating the data tag ensuring that only an authorized user can manage an aspect of the protected data tag.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A computer-implementable method for performing a data center monitoring and management operation, comprising:
generating a data tag for an object within a system, the generating the data tag for the object associating a contextual meaning with the object; mapping the data tag to the object, the mapping the data tag to the object associating a data tag with the object; determining when an aspect of the data tag is changed; and, automatically updating the data tag to provide an updated data tag.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the updating the data tag is based upon a data tag dynamic change policy.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein:
the data tag dynamic change policy includes associated data tag dynamic change policy data.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein:
the associated data tag dynamic change policy includes a watch list of data tags.

5 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
monitoring the watch list of data tags for changes to a key of a data tag contained within the watch list of data tags.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein:
a change to the data tag dynamic change policy results in an automatic change to associated data tags contained within the watch list of data tags.

7 . A system comprising:
a processor; a data bus coupled to the processor; and, a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium being coupled to the data bus, the computer program code interacting with a plurality of computer operations and comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:
generating a data tag for an object within a system, the generating the data tag for the object associating a contextual meaning with the object;
mapping the data tag to the object, the mapping the data tag to the object associating a data tag with the object;
determining when an aspect of the data tag is changed; and,
automatically updating the data tag to provide an updated data tag.

8 . The system of claim 7 , wherein:
the updating the data tag is based upon a data tag dynamic change policy.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein:
the data tag dynamic change policy includes associated data tag dynamic change policy data.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein:
the associated data tag dynamic change policy includes a watch list of data tags.

11 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the instructions executable by the processor are further configured for:
monitoring the watch list of data tags for changes to a key of a data tag contained within the watch list of data tags.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein:
a change to the data tag dynamic change policy results in an automatic change to associated data tags contained within the watch list of data tags.

13 . A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the computer program code comprising computer executable instructions configured for:
generating a data tag for an object within a, the generating the data tag for the object associating a contextual meaning with the object; mapping the data tag to the object, the mapping the data tag to the object associating a data tag with the object; determining when an aspect of the data tag is changed; and, automatically updating the data tag to provide an updated data tag.

14 . The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein:
the updating the data tag is based upon a data tag dynamic change policy.

15 . The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein:
the data tag dynamic change policy includes associated data tag dynamic change policy data.

16 . The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein:
the associated data tag dynamic change policy includes a watch list of data tags.

17 . The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the computer executable instructions are further configured for:
monitoring the watch list of data tags for changes to a key of a data tag contained within the watch list of data tags.

18 . The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein:
a change to the data tag dynamic change policy results in an automatic change to associated data tags contained within the watch list of data tags.

19 . The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein:
the computer executable instructions are deployable to a client system from a server 2 system at a remote location.

20 . The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein:
the computer executable instructions are provided by a service provider to a user on an on-demand basis.
