Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Mechanisms are provided for collecting configuration data from components of a managed computing system environment. A portion of code is obtained, in a data processing system, from a data collection system that does not have security credentials to allow the data collection system to directly access to the managed computing system environment. The portion of code is executed by the data processing system using security credentials maintained in the data processing system. Executing the portion of code causes the data processing system to access the managed computing system environment and collect configuration data from the managed computing system environment. The data processing system, via the portion of code, provides the configuration data collected from the managed computing system to the data collection system which stores the collected configuration data in a data storage.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method, in a data processing system, for collecting configuration data from components of a managed computing system, comprising: obtaining, by the data processing system, a portion of code from a data collection system, wherein the data collection system does not have security credentials to allow the data collection system to directly access a managed computing system, distinct from the data processing system, and wherein the data collection system does…
