Abstract
To maintain and manage a computer network, a system administrator may monitor a large number and variety of components, each component comprising a variety of resources. The instrumentation of a resource may be monitored and/or manipulated by receiving a Simple Object Accessing Protocol (SOAP) message comprising an operation identifier for accessing instrumentation information and a resource identifier associated with a computer system resource. The management system may resolve the resource identifier into an address for a local handler associated with the resource, and may send a local request to the local handler at the resolved address.
