Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for managing resources in virtualization systems, including multi-cloud systems. The use of supply chain economics alone and in combination with other techniques offers a unified platform to integrate, optimize or improve, and automate resource management in a virtualization system. These techniques may be used to monitor and control the delivery of service level agreements and software licenses. They may also be used to monitor and control contention of computing resources in a virtualization system, and to suspend or terminate computing resources.

A method and apparatus are provided for multi-realm system modeling (MRSM) for dividing systems into components, defining realms containing objects representing system components, optionally defining relationships between the system components, defining associations between realms sufficient to unify objects in the realms when needed, and unifying objects in the realms based on the associations. The realms are defined in a way that enables unified processing for various applications of MRSM.

A method and apparatus for determining causality mapping between causing events and detectable events among a plurality of nodes in a distributed system is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of automatically generating a causality mapping model of the dependences between causing events at the nodes of the distributed system and the detectable events in a subset of the nodes, the model suitable for representing the execution of at least one system operation. In one aspect the generation is perform by selecting nodes associated with each of the detectable events from the subset of the nodes and indicating the dependency between a causing event and at least one detectable event for each causing event at a node when the causing event node is a known distance from at least one node selected from the selected nodes. In still another aspect, the processing described herein is in the form of a computer-readable medium suitable for providing instruction to a computer or processing system for executing the processing claimed.

A computer implemented method and apparatus for determining the source of at least one observed event occurring among a plurality of types of components is disclosed. The method, operable on a computer system, utilizes a data structure produced for determining the source of a problem by mapping a plurality of observed events and a plurality of known causing events, wherein the mapping represents a correlation between the observed events and the causing events, determines a distance measure based on mapped correlation values and determines at least one causing event based on a distance measure within a known tolerance above a minimum distance measure.
摘要:
An apparatus and method is provided for efficiently determining the source of problems in a complex system based on observable events. By splitting the problem identification process into two separate activities of (1) generating efficient codes for problem identification and (2) decoding the problems at runtime, the efficiency of the problem identification process is significantly increased. Various embodiments of the invention contemplate creating a causality matrix which relates observable symptoms to likely problems in the system, reducing the causality matrix into a minimal codebook by eliminating redundant or unnecessary information, monitoring the observable symptoms, and decoding problems by comparing the observable symptoms against the minimal codebook using various best-fit approaches. The minimal codebook also identifies those observable symptoms for which the greatest benefit will be gained if they were monitored as compared to others.By defining a distance measure between symptoms and codes in the codebook, the invention can tolerate a loss of symptoms or spurious symptoms without failure. Changing the radius of the codebook allows the ambiguity of problem identification to be adjusted easily. The invention also allows probabilistic and temporal correlations to be monitored. Due to the degree of data reduction prior to runtime, extremely large and complex systems involving many observable events can be efficiently monitored with much smaller computing resources than would otherwise be possible.

摘要:
A computer implemented method on a computer readable media is provided for determining the source of a problem in a complex system of managed components based upon symptoms. The problem source identification process is split into different activities. Explicit configuration non-specific representations of types of managed components, their problems, symptoms and the relations along which the problems or symptoms propagate are created that can be manipulated by executable computer code. A data structure is produced for determining the source of a problem by combining one or more of the representations based on information of specific instances of managed components in the system. Computer code is then executed which uses the data structure to determine the source of the problem from one or more symptoms.
