[comp.unix.admin] Wanted: management information base design

willemdj@thor.pttrnl.nl (Willem de Jong) (03/11/91)

Hello!

I am developing a tool to support Unix system administrators. At this
moment I am trying to find out what data is needed to manage a Unix system.
I reckon this data will consist of two parts:

- Data that describes the managed system as it should be. 
  This data might be used to check the actual status of the system.

- Historical data, to be able to do some predictions on the future (by
  extrapolation).

Does anyone know which ATTRIBUTES might be of interest, or where I could
find a DESIGN for such a database?
