Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for providing computer implemented services using managed systems are disclosed. To provide the computer implemented services, the managed systems may need to operate in a predetermined manner conducive to, for example, execution of applications that provide the computer implemented services. Similarly, the managed system may need access to certain hardware resources (e.g., and also software resources such as drivers, firmware, etc.) to provide the desired computer implemented services. To improve the likelihood of the computer implemented services being provided, the managed systems may be managed using a subscription based model. The subscription model may utilize a highly accessible service to facilitate system management. To facilitate system management, the highly available service may utilize various types of reporting models to identify use of the managed systems. The identified use may be used to drive management decisions.

Abstract: A technique for handling memory access requests is described. An apparatus has an interconnect for coupling a plurality of requester elements with a plurality of slave elements. The requester elements are arranged to issue memory access requests for processing by the slave elements. An intermediate element within the interconnect acts as a point of serialisation to order the memory access requests issued by requester elements via the intermediate element. The intermediate element has tracking circuitry for tracking handling of the memory access requests accepted by the intermediate element. Further, request acceptance management circuitry is provided to identify a target slave element amongst the plurality of slave elements for that given memory access request, and to determine whether the given memory access request is to be accepted by the intermediate element dependent on an indication of bandwidth capability for the target slave element.

Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems described herein are directed to reducing volumes of log messages sent from edge systems to a data center. The computer-implemented methods performed at each edge system includes collecting a stream of log messages generated by one or more event sources of the edge system. Representative log messages of the stream of log messages are determined. The edge systems may discard non-representative log messages from data storage devices at the edge system. The representative log messages are sent from each of the edge systems to the data center where the representative log messages are received and stored in data storage devices of the data center, thereby reducing the volumes of log messages sent from the edge systems to the data center.
