Abstract
Management of heterogeneous data sources is described. In accordance with an embodiment method, a plurality of heterogeneous data sources is identified (410). The plurality of heterogeneous data sources can represent static data sources and management data streams received from servers for network management. The data sources can be encapsulated into data source containers (420). Each data source container can encapsulate a separate data source and can be mapped into an interdependent source graph (430). The interdependent source graph can include object links between the data source containers, the object links representing relationships existing between the data source containers. The interdependent source graph can be queried by traversing the interdependent source graph using data source container relationships to obtain management information about at least one of the data sources (440). Management information obtained while querying can be rendered to a management program on the management server to provide a unified view of the management information (450).
