    Abstract: An example system may include a first endpoint executing a remote collector and a second endpoint in communication with the first endpoint. The remote collector may monitor the second endpoint. The remote collector may include an agent installation unit to install a monitoring agent with configuration data on the second endpoint. The configuration data may specify a configuration for the monitoring agent to monitor a first program executing in the second endpoint. Further, the second endpoint may include a buffer limit configuration unit to execute the monitoring agent in a test mode to determine a first number of metrics to be collected in one cycle based on the configuration data. Furthermore, the buffer limit configuration unit may configure a buffer limit of the monitoring agent based on the first number of metrics and, upon configuring the buffer limit, enable the monitoring agent to monitor the first program.

    Abstract: An example system includes a first endpoint executing a remote collector and a second endpoint in communication with the first endpoint. The remote collector may monitor the second endpoint and send monitored information to a monitoring application. Further, the second endpoint may include a monitoring agent and a process tree generation unit. The process tree generation unit may receive a command to monitor an input process running in the second endpoint and download a process tree creation script from the remote collector. Further, the process tree generation unit may execute the process tree creation script to generate a configuration file for the monitoring agent. The configuration file may include a process tree indicating a hierarchical relationship of the input process with other processes. Furthermore, the process tree generation unit may enable the monitoring agent to monitor the processes in the process tree based on the configuration file.

    Abstract: In one example, a management node includes a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory may include a blueprint-generation unit and a deployment unit. The blueprint-generation unit may generate a blueprint with specifications of hardware and an operating system to be deployed in a cloud computing infrastructure. Further, the blueprint-generation unit may append a command to the blueprint. The command may download a script from a remote collector that is associated with a monitoring platform to monitor workloads. Furthermore, the memory may include a deployment unit. The deployment unit may deploy an instance of the workload on a host computing system in the cloud computing infrastructure according to the blueprint. During the deployment of the instance of the workload, the deployment unit may execute the command to deploy a monitoring agent on the workload and configure the monitoring agent to monitor the workload.

    Abstract: A method to upgrade an on-premises based first remote collector to a cloud-based second remote collector is described. In an example, an operating system of a virtual appliance that runs the first remote collector is upgraded. The first remote collector may monitor an endpoint and send monitored information to a first monitoring application running on an on-premises server. Further, a second remote collector associated with a second monitoring application is installed on the virtual appliance. The second monitoring application runs on a cloud-based server. Furthermore, connection information of the second remote collector is configured to connect to the second monitoring application. Then, the first remote collector is upgraded to the second remote collector using the upgraded operating system and the connection information. Upon rebooting the virtual appliance, the second remote collector can be enabled to monitor the endpoint and send monitored information to the second monitoring application.
