Abstract: Described systems and techniques determine causal associations between events that occur within an information technology landscape. Individual situations that are likely to represent active occurrences requiring a response may be identified as causal event clusters, without requiring manual tuning to determine cluster boundaries. Consequently, it is possible to identify root causes, analyze effects, predict future events, and prevent undesired outcomes, even in complicated, dispersed, interconnected systems.

Abstract: Techniques for coordinating the monitoring of output devices. In one technique, one or more messages are received, at a mediation service, over a computer network from a cloud-based management server. The one or more messages include an identity of an output device, an identity of an active mediation service for the output device, and an identity of each failover mediation service in one or more failover mediation services for the output device. Based on the one of the messages, the mediation service determines that it is a failover mediation service. Later, it is determined whether the mediation service is to be a new active mediation service for the output device. In response to an affirmative determination, the mediation service transmits, to the cloud-based management server, a notification that indicates that the mediation service is the new active mediation service. The mediation service also initiates monitoring of the output device.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method determines when a packet is fragmented into multiple fragmented packets in a flow between a first workload and a second workload. The method switches from generating an outer source port in the outer header using layer 4 information from the inner header to using layer 3 information from the inner header. A fragmented packet is encapsulated with the outer header that includes an outer source port value that is generated using the layer 3 information. The method initiates a process to determine when to switch back to using layer 4 information from the inner header to generate the outer source port. When it is determined to switch back to using layer 4 information, the method switches back to using layer 4 information from the inner header to generate the source port in the outer header of a packet from the first workload.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided that automatically scale an application between private and public cloud computing platforms, while simultaneous enforcing policies ensuring private data is persistently stored on the private cloud computing platform, but not the public cloud computing platform. A traffic manager on the public platform routes traffic to instances of a web app executing on a private platform. A traffic monitor on the private platform monitors performance criteria of the private platform, and reports traffic telemetry to the traffic manager. Based on the traffic telemetry, the traffic manager may instantiate one or more instances of the web app on the public platform to handle traffic. Private data gathered by such instantiated instance(s) is persisted to storage in the private platform, but not in the public platform.
