Abstract: Techniques for generating and rendering analytics data from system management data collected for multiple service domains are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, performance data are collected from multiple service domains that are each configured to determine performance metrics for one or more target system entities. The performance data for a first of the service domains is monitoring including, displaying metric objects representing variations in performance metrics for the first service domain and detecting a performance event for the first service domain, wherein the performance event is associated with a target system entity and a performance metric value. In response to said detecting the performance event, a metric object is displayed that indicates an association between an entity identifier (ID) of the target system entity and the performance metric value.

Abstract: Techniques for rendering application log data in a heterogeneous monitoring system are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, performance metrics are monitored by service domains that are configured within a target system that includes multiple target system entities. Each of the service domains includes agents that each monitor and record performance metric data for one or more of a set of the target system entities. In response to detecting an event based on the performance metric data, a metric object that associates an identifier of a first target system entity with a performance metric is displayed. In response to graphical input selection of the displayed metric object, an event request that specifies the first target system entity and a metric type of the performance metric is generated. In response to the event request, a search profile is generated.

Abstract: Techniques for correlating end node data with connectivity infrastructure and selectively accessing end node log data are disclosed. In some embodiments, operational events are detected for target system entities that include connectivity entities and end node entities. For each of the detected operational events, an event record is generated that includes an entity identifier (ID) and a metric type. The entity IDs and the metric types included in the event records are utilized to correlate two or more of the event records. A determination is performed of whether each of the entity IDs in the correlated event records corresponds to a connectivity entity or an end node entity. Log requests are generated and sent to each of the target system entities having an entity ID in a correlated event record that corresponds to an end node entity.

Abstract: Techniques for generating and rendering analytics data from system management data collected for multiple service domains are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, performance metrics from multiple service domains are monitored. The services domains are configured within a target system comprising multiple target system entities, with each of the service domains including a set of one or more of the target system entities that are monitored by a respective monitoring system that records performance metric data for the target system entities within the service domain. The monitoring of performance metrics may include displaying a metric object that specifies a first target system entity within a first of the service domains and that indicates a performance metric for the first target system entity. In response to a selection of the displayed metric object, a performance correlation is determined between a second target system entity within a second of the service domains and the first target system entity.

Abstract: Hypercalls for a host machine and guest machines to a hypervisor are intercepted and routed to the hypervisor for execution on a hardware platform, responsive to the hypercall passing hypercall access rules. The intercepting may be performed by a hypercall access control layer that reloads a hypercall table that maps hypercalls from a host machine and guest machines to hypercall handlers, to identify a hypercall access control handler as the hypercall handler for the host machine and the guest machines. Upon passing the hypercall access rules, the hypercall is passed to the hypervisor.
