Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a method for securing a partner service. The method can include receiving a request, wherein the request comprises a unique value, to access the partner service, wherein the request is received from a browser client for a partner application and determining that a user is authorized to access the partner application, the partner application generating a token that associates the user with the partner application. The method can also include generating a signature for the token, the signature to enable the partner service to independently regenerate the signature, the token comprising an identifier for the partner application enabling the partner service to detect which partner application generates the token and sending the token with the signature to the browser client.

Abstract: According to various embodiments, the present invention provides live site performance monitoring in the context of logical resource hierarchies found in cloud computing systems. In particular, in one embodiment, the system of the present invention facilitates monitoring of new computing services without necessarily requiring explicit knowledge about such new services. Such services can include, for example and without limitation, those provided using a Representational State Transfer (REST) architecture, although the techniques described herein can also be used with other architectures. In one embodiment, the system of the present invention operates by automatically creating groups of items for performance monitoring, based on the hierarchy of a URI. Heuristics can be used to determine aggregatable hierarchy nodes.
