Abstract: Embodiments relate to host-side cache migration. An aspect is a method that includes determining pre-fetch hints associated with a source cache that is local to a source host machine. The source cache includes pages of cache data for a virtual machine. The pre-fetch hints are sent to a pre-fetch planner to create a pre-fetch plan. The pre-fetch hints are sent based on migration of the virtual machine to a target host machine including a target cache that is local. At the source host machine, a cache migration request is received based on the pre-fetch plan. A first subset of the pages is sent from the source cache through a host-to-host communication channel to the target cache based on the cache migration request. A second subset of the pages is sent from the source cache through a host-storage communication channel to a shared storage to be relayed to the target cache.

Abstract: An endpoint monitoring for a machine to machine (M2M) messaging framework system is disclosed. The system comprises a monitoring server and a monitoring application stored in a memory of the monitoring server. When executed by a processor of the monitoring server, the monitoring application queries a plurality of brokers that are communicatively coupled with a plurality of message queue telemetry transport (MQTT) clients for data regarding the rate of disconnections that occur between the brokers and the MQTT clients. The monitoring application compares the data received from the brokers and compares the rate of disconnections to data in an information data store. If a high rate of disconnections is discovered in at least one of the broker to MQTT client connections, the monitoring application takes action, for example reboots an MQTT client and/or sends a notification message.
