Line 1:
'''Web Services Distributed Management''' ('''WSDM''', pronounced ''wisdom'') is a [[web service]] standard for managing and monitoring the status of other services.
The goal of WSDM is to allow a well-defined network protocol for controlling any other service that is WSDM-compliant. For example, a third-party [[digital dashboard]] or [[network management system]] could be used to monitor the status or performance of other services, and potentially take corrective actions to restart services if failures occur. Some aspects of WSDM overlap or displace functionality of [[Simple Network Management Protocol|SNMP]].
