Abstract: According to the disclosed approaches, a first processor receives location messages from second processors. Each location message specifies published geographical coordinates that indicate a geographical location. The first processor accesses subscriptions to location topics in response to the location messages. The first processor determines whether or not the published geographical coordinates match any of the subscribed-to geographical coordinates. Matching location messages are transmitted to one or more third processors identified by the subscriptions.

Abstract: According to the disclosed approaches, a first processor receives location messages from second processors. Each location message specifies published geographical coordinates that indicate a geographical location, and the published geographical coordinates are a version of actual geographical coordinates truncated from a first level of precision to a second level of precision. The first processor accesses subscriptions to location topics in response to the location messages. Each location topic specifies in the second level of precision, subscribed-to geographical coordinates of a location. The first processor determines whether or not the published geographical coordinates match any of the subscribed-to geographical coordinates. Non-matching location messages are discarded, and matching location messages are transmitted to one or more third processors identified by the subscriptions.

Abstract: An apparatus for reporting an alert state at any level of a hierarchy of managed objects in a computing system includes an arrange module that arranges the managed objects in a hierarchy. The hierarchy includes a top view and at least one sub-view, wherein the top view visually indicates an alert state representing the highest alert state of all managed objects and sub-views under the top view. A method for reporting an alert state at any level of a hierarchy of managed objects in a computing system includes arranging the managed objects in a hierarchy, having a top view and at least one sub-view, wherein the top view visually indicates an alert state representing the highest alert state of all managed objects and sub-views under the top view. A user display window for displaying an alert state at any level of a hierarchy of managed objects includes a navigation pane, a display pane, and a detail pane.

Abstract: A user display window for visually indicating a monitored connection state of a managed object in a computing system includes a display pane for displaying visual representations of views, systems, or objects of the computing system, wherein the managed object is represented with a first icon and the connection state is represented with an outline around the first icon. A user can visually see the connection state of any managed object within the computing system by viewing the display plane and seeing the outline around the first icon. A method for visually indicating a monitored connection state of a managed object in a computing system includes representing the managed object with a first icon; representing the connection state with a first representation; and superimposing the first icon on the first representation.
