Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for alarm state restoration. Embodiments include determining a plurality of alarm definitions applicable to an inventory of a plurality of entities in a computing environment. Embodiments include assigning each given alarm definition of the plurality of alarm definitions to a given alarm category of a plurality of alarm categories. Embodiments include restoring declared states of the plurality of alarms definition on the inventory based on the assigning, wherein the restoring comprises, for each given alarm category of the plurality of alarm categories, performing a single traversal of the inventory to identify all respective entities of the plurality of entities that correspond to one or more alarm definitions assigned to the given alarm category.

Abstract: The disclosure herein describes monitoring authorization checks and detecting excess authorization privileges and other privilege usage patterns. An authorization check associated with an operation performed during a session in a computing environment is captured and a set of authorization privileges granted to a user of the session is identified. Based on comparison of the authorization privileges to authorization checks including the captured authorization check, excess authorization privileges granted to the user of the session is detected, wherein the excess authorization privileges are a subset of the identified set of authorization privileges. A privilege discrepancy notification based on the detected set of excess authorization privileges is generated. The detected privilege usage patterns described herein are used to improve the efficient use, and increase the security, of resources in the computing system.
