Abstract: Certain embodiments described herein are generally directed to techniques for determining items of inventory of a data center to which a user has access. Embodiments include receiving permission information indicating specific user permissions assigned to particular items of a plurality of items in an inventory of data center resources, wherein items of the plurality of items are organized in a hierarchical manner across nodes of a hierarchical tree. Embodiments include assigning categories to the plurality of items based on the permission information, wherein each of the particular items is assigned a unique category based on the specific user permissions and each of the plurality of items that is not in the particular items and that has a parent node in the hierarchical tree is assigned a category corresponding to the parent node. Embodiments include storing category information in a data store based on the assigning of the categories.

Abstract: A method of deploying an agent platform on an agent platform appliance, wherein the agent platform connects management appliances to cloud services executing on a cloud platform, includes the steps of: initiating a sequence of steps to deploy the agent platform on the agent platform appliance; executing the sequence of steps up to a particular checkpoint, and continuing execution of the sequence of steps beyond the particular checkpoint; during the continued execution of the sequence of steps beyond the particular checkpoint, detecting an error; determining that the detected error is a recoverable error; and in response to the determining that the detected error is a recoverable error, resuming execution of the sequence of steps from the particular checkpoint.

Abstract: Scalar values are assigned to hierarchically-arranged items of inventory of one or more data centers, which may be physical or software-defined, based on the positions of the inventory items in the hierarchy. The scalar values are assigned to the items such that they have increasing values when the items are traversed during a depth-first search of the hierarchy. With this assignment, items of inventory to which a user has access permissions, or any other type of permissions, can be specified as one or more ranges of the scalar values, and such items can be determined from the specified one or more ranges.

Abstract: A method of forwarding logs of a software-defined data center (SDDC) and logs of an agent platform appliance to a cloud platform through the agent platform appliance, the agent platform appliance having deployed thereon a plurality of agents of cloud services that are delivered to the SDDC, includes the steps of: collecting first log data from one or more management appliances of the SDDC; collecting second log data from one or more of the agents of cloud services; acquiring one or more access tokens for communicating with the cloud platform; and transmitting log data generated from the collected first log data and the collected second log data, along with the one or more access tokens, to a log monitoring service running in the cloud platform, wherein the log monitoring service is configured to generate alerts separately for different tenants of the computer system from log data of the different tenants.

Abstract: A method of managing configurations of a data center according to a desired state of the configurations includes retrieving a running state of the configurations, comparing the running state against a first desired state of the configurations and determining a drift of the running state from the first desired state, notifying a cloud control plane of the drift, and in response to an instruction issued by the cloud control plane to apply the desired state, configuring the data center according to a second desired state.
