Tracking changes that affect performance of deployed applications

摘要

An application monitoring infrastructure that enables application configuration changes on multiple machines across multiple OS types to be tracked by identifying data containers that are to be monitored for changes, detecting a change to a monitored data container, and storing data representative of a changed version of the monitored data container responsive to detecting that the monitored container was changed. The data containers that are to be monitored for changes are identified from templates, and a unique template is provisioned for each of the applications.

1. A method for tracking changes to data containers that may affect performance of applications deployed in a computer system, said method comprising:
identifying a first subset of a first set of data containers to be monitored for changes, and a second subset of a second set of data containers to be monitored for changes, the first set of data containers corresponding to a first application, the second set of data containers corresponding to a second application; detecting a change to a monitored data container; and storing data representative of a changed version of the monitored data container responsive to detecting that the monitored container was changed, wherein the first and second subsets of data containers that are to be monitored for changes are identified, respectively, from a first template provisioned for the first application and a second template provisioned for the second application, and the first and second templates include, respectively, one or more expressions that identify the first and second subsets of data containers.
