Abstract: A system receives, from a policy command service executing in a control plane of a distributed computing system, a configuration file defining parameters to be monitored at the computing node, a timing factor indicating when the parameters are to be monitored, and a threshold for when the parameters are to be sent from the computing node. Based on the configuration file, while the computing node is operational in the distributed computing system, the baseboard management controller is configured to monitor the computing node in accordance with the configuration file. The baseboard management controller sends, to a storage at the distributed computing system, the parameters defined in the configuration file for analysis of maintenance and health of the computing node.

Abstract: In some aspects, the present disclosure provides a method for managing applications in flash memory devices. In one example, an application manager is configured to manage data stored in an application partition of a flash memory device. The application manager may be configured to receive a request from an application processor to read a first application data stored on the application partition of the flash memory device partitioned into the application partition and a second partition, and manage one or more applications stored on the first partition according to a physical block mapping of the one or more applications.
