Abstract: Mechanisms for identifying a component cluster among a plurality of components in a distributed computing environment are disclosed. Configuration information that corresponds to the plurality of components is accessed. The configuration information includes inter-component communication information. The inter-component communication information between the plurality of components is matched to determine a plurality of pairs of components that communicate with one another. Relationships between the components in the pairs of components are determined. A data structure that identifies the component cluster of the pairs of components and the relationships between the components in the pairs of components is generated.

Abstract: Mechanisms for receiving real-time messages identifying statuses of computing resources from cloud computing systems are disclosed. A computing device receives, from each of a plurality of cloud computing systems configured to implement on-demand computing resources in response to requests, corresponding real-time messages via a plurality of corresponding communication channels, each real-time message identifying a status of at least one computing resource implemented in the respective cloud computing system.

Abstract: Mechanisms for establishing persistent bi-directional communication channels with cloud computing systems are disclosed. A processor device initiates a plurality of persistent bi-directional communication channels with a corresponding plurality of cloud computing systems. Each cloud computing system comprises a plurality of computing devices used to implement on-demand computing resources on one or more of the plurality of computing devices at the request of different entities. The processor device receives real-time messages from at least some respective cloud computing systems of the plurality of cloud computing systems via the corresponding persistent bi-directional communication channel that identifies a status of at least one computing resource implemented in the respective cloud computing system.

Abstract: Root cause determination in multiple process systems is disclosed. It is determined that a first process encountered a problem at a first point in time. A directed graph that represents each process of a plurality of processes, including the first process, as a corresponding vertex of a plurality of vertices in the directed graph is accessed. A path through the directed graph from a start vertex to an end vertex is determined to identify a subset of processes that correspond to the vertices in the path. Corresponding runtime metric values are accessed to determine whether a runtime metric value is a non-desired value for at least one of the processes in the subset of processes. A process in the subset of processes is identified as a root cause candidate of the problem encountered by the first process.
