Health monitoring of applications in a guest partition

摘要

A health monitoring technique monitors the health and performance of applications executing in a guest partition in a virtualized environment. In an embodiment, a guest integration component interacts with an application through an application programming interface in order for the virtualization platform to monitor the health and performance of the application. In another embodiment, the guest integration component may include a monitoring agent that accesses an event log and/or a performance monitor log to access the health and performance of the application. The health and performance of the application may then be analyzed by the virtualization platform to determine an appropriate remedial action.

1. A method implemented on a computing device having at least one processor, the method comprising:
executing an application in a first guest partition of a virtualized platform, the first guest partition isolated from other guest partitions in the virtualized platform, the first guest partition including a guest operating system and a guest integration component; and applying a sequence of remedial actions to remedy at least one event affecting performance of the execution of the application, the sequence including a first remedial action applied by the application, a second remedial action applied by the guest operating system when the first remedial action is unsuccessful, a third remedial action applied by a guest integration component when the second remedial action is unsuccessful, and a fourth remedial action applied by the virtualized platform when the third remedial action is unsuccessful.
