Management computer, deployment management method, and non-transient computer-readable storage medium

A management computer for managing deployment of applications and application probes for monitoring the states of the applications in a computer system including a plurality of computers, each computer having running thereon a resource monitoring probe for monitoring the state of the computer, wherein the management computer searches and selects one computer of the plurality of computers which satisfies configuration conditions and monitoring interval conditions, and calculates the value of a monitor spike that would occur if a new application and a new application probe were deployed to the selected computer, where the term "monitor spike" refers to a load caused by a resource monitoring probe and a monitoring application probe which is synchronized with the resource monitoring probe in terms of monitoring timing, and wherein the management computer determines whether the calculated value of the monitor spike is less than a predetermined threshold value, and if it is determined that the calculated value of the monitor spike is less than the predetermined threshold value, then determines that the selected computer should be a candidate computer to which the application and the application probe are to be deployed.
