    Abstract: An example computer-implemented method includes obtaining a migration script at a first compute node executing a first remote collector. The first remote collector may collect monitored information from an endpoint in a data center. Further, the migration script may be executed on the first compute node to copy a security artifact from the first remote collector to a second remote collector. The security artifact may provide a secure access to the endpoint. Upon copying the security artifact to the second remote collector, a first component of a data plane may be updated to send the monitored information to the second remote collector and a second component of a control plane may be updated to receive a control command from the second remote collector.

    Abstract: In an example, a computer-implemented method may include receiving vulnerability data indicative of a vulnerability associated with a computing environment from a security scanning platform. Further, the method may include determining a type of the vulnerability and determining an operating system component, an application component, or both being vulnerable to a security threat based on the type of vulnerability. Furthermore, the method may include determining a compute node, of the computing environment, hosting the operating system component, the application component, or both that are vulnerable. Further, the method may include generating an alert notification indicating that the operating system component, the application component, or both along with the determined compute node are vulnerable to the security threat.

    Abstract: Techniques for prioritized client-server communications based on server health are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system includes multiple clients, and a server communicatively coupled to the multiple clients. The server may include a quality of service (QoS) aware server agent to divide the clients into client groups, assign a priority level to each of the client groups, monitor a health of the server, and determine heartbeat status messages to be sent to the client groups based on the assigned priority level and the health of the server. Each heartbeat message may indicate a state of the server. Further, the QoS aware server agent may send the heartbeat status messages to corresponding ones of the client groups and instruct clients corresponding to one or more of the client groups to send data based on the corresponding heartbeat status messages.

    Abstract: Techniques for optimized performance data collection at client nodes are disclosed. In one embodiment, a client node in a client-server environment may include at least one processing resource and a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith. The computer-readable program code being configured to obtain resource utilization data associated with a plurality of processes running on the client node, determine a list of processes having resource utilization greater than a threshold based on the resource utilization data, organize the list of processes based on predetermined criteria and the resource utilization data, generate a report including a predefined number of processes from the organized list, and transmit the report to a management node for performance monitoring.

    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.
