Diagnostics agents for managed computing solutions hosted in adaptive environments

摘要

A solutions manager supports computing solutions running on hosts in an adaptive computing environment by utilizing remote processes or agents placed on the hosts. A remote agent is associated with a computing solution and placed on the host on which the computing solution is running. When the computing solution is relocated to a new host, the remote agent associated with the computing solution is also automatically relocated and restarted on the new host.

1. A method, comprising:
providing, at a central location, a solutions manager configured to monitor and support at least one computing solution that is hosted under a virtual hostname on one or more physical hosts in an adaptive computing environment by utilizing at least one remote process agent disposed on the one or more physical hosts; providing, on a first physical host on which an instance of a particular computing solution is running under a particular virtual hostname, a remote diagnostics agent that is communicatively linked to the solutions manager and associated with the particular computing solution; listening for virtual hostname changes on the first physical host and a second physical host; and in response to a relocation of the instance of the particular computing solution running under the particular virtual hostname from the first physical host to the second physical host in the adaptive computing environment, automatically relocating the remote diagnostics agent that is communicatively linked to the solutions manager and associated with the particular computing solution from the first physical host to the second physical host.
