Monitoring of servers over the network is important to detect anomalies in servers in adatacenter. Systems management software exist which can receive messages from servers on which such anomalies occur. Network monitoring software are often used to periodically poll servers for their hardware health status. A centralized approach to network monitoring ispresented in this thesis, in which a systems management software receives messages from servers, and is polled by a network monitoring software. This thesis examines the reliabilityof a centralized monitoring approach in terms of how accurate its response is, as well as the time it took to respond with the correct hardware health status when polled, when it is affected by varying degrees of traffic through conducting an experiment. The results of the experiment show that the monitoring architecture is accurate when exposed to a level of load which is in line with scalability guidelines as offered by the company developing the systems management software, and that the time it takes for a hardware health status to be poll-able for the majority of the measurements lie within the interval 0 to 15 seconds.

Health related quality of life (HRQoL) refers to the impact of disease and treatment on disability and daily living. Living with a venous leg ulcer (VLU) has a negative impact on HRQoL. The aim of the present study was to investigate the aspects of HRQoL affected by VLUs in a local SA sample. A post hoc research design was utilised comparing 30 VLU patients and 30 non-VLU participants. Four hypotheses were investigated: (1) the experience of having a VLU on HRQoL, (2) the relation between gender and HRQoL of VLU patients, (3) the relation between age and HRQoL of VLU patients and (4) the interrelation between the underlying constructs of HRQoL of VLU patients. A structured questionnaire was used to obtain information on demographic variables and HRQoL using the SF-36 questionnaire. Interviews were conducted to obtain qualitative data to complete the investigation. Correlation analysis and t-tests confirmed that having a VLU negatively affected HRQoL and that interrelations existed among the constructs of HRQoL. There were no significant relations between gender, age and HRQoL of VLU patients. In line with the social constructivist approach, social support and restructuring a sense of meaning in life to increase HRQoL, are important goals in the management of VLUs. / Psychology / M.Sc.
