Static and dynamic assessment procedures
| Details |
Inventors: Holland, Paul Edward; McDowell, Mark William; Dineen, Paul Laurence; Le, Vu An Minh;
Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. (Houston, TX)
Primary Examiner: Knight; Anthony
Assistant Examiner: Datskovskiy; Sergey
Attorney, Agent or Firm:
An assessments framework includes a framework batch processor and a partner batch processor. The framework batch processor performs static assessments based on information obtained from a task definition database and a policy database. The partner batch processor outputs dynamic task definitions and dynamic policy information, to be input to the framework batch processor for executing an assessment when a triggering event occurs. The triggering event may be a schedule-based trigger or an event-based trigger. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The invention, as summarized above and as claimed in the appended claims, corresponds most closely to a second embodiment of the invention which is described below in the section of this detailed description that follows the subtitle: "STATIC AND DYNAMIC ASSESSMENT" and that forms a later portion of this detailed description.
All of the earlier portions of this "DETAILED DESCRIPTION" present a detailed description of a first embodiment of the invention of which this second embodiment is a variation.
Definition of Terms The following terms used in this application shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them below unless otherwise expressly defined in this application.
Analyzers.
Analyzers are processes, defined by rules or programs, that analyze selected configuration information gathered by one or more collectors to one or more nodes, and that identify and report issues which may require attention.
Analyzer Harness.
An analyzer harness is a framework or system which encapsulates, or wraps, and then executes an analyzer, providing the analyzer with collector data relating to a specific node or nodes of a specific enterprise each time an analyzer is encapsulated or wrapped and then executed.
Audit.
This term is normally used for a formal examination or verification of financial accounts, in this context it means a very thorough examination or verification.
One can expect a high depth of coverage and typically (but not necessarily) a significant breadth of coverage (i.
e.
, multiple domains).
Given the details, an audit typically takes a significant amount of time.
Resources that perform Audits typically are subject matter experts with a lot of experience.
Depending on the areas of coverage this is done by one person or by a team.
Typically, this will require a team of multiple specialists.
Collectors.
A collector is a command, or a series of commands, that causes programs installed at one or more nodes to gather configuration information about the node and that return reports defining the node's configuration
