Abstract: Disclosed systems and methods may retrieve a base image of a plugin for a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCl) platform and create a Docker image for an HCl platform plugin based, in part, on the base image. The HCl platform plugin enables an extended function not native to the HCl platform. Disclosed methods may include registering the Docker image within an HCl platform instance running on an HCl appliance associated with a customer, and saving the Docker image to a Docker image repository within the HCl platform instance. The extended HCl platform function may be any suitable function including, as an illustrative example, a function for provisioning a third party storage device within the HCl platform. Disclosed method steps may be performed by an independent third party developer that lacks authorized access to an HCl platform instance.

Abstract: An information handling system may include at least one processor and a memory. The information handling system may be configured to maintain a plurality of folders in a central management system, wherein each folder is a data structure having one or more hosts associated therewith; and in response to an instruction to move a particular host from a first folder to a second folder: un-associate the particular host from the first folder; associate the particular host with the second folder; and transmit a notification regarding the movement to a local management system of a satellite information handling system; wherein the local management system is configured to update a local data structure regarding the movement.

Abstract: Disclosed systems and methods include or support a message logging service in which, responsive to receiving an event message generated by a business function, the message is logged in accordance with a message severity, one or more severity level attributes of the system, and one or more message logging criterion. Responsive to determining the message severity meets a first criterion, the message may be routed to and saved within a first persistent log file. Responsive to determining the message severity satisfies a second criterion, the message may be temporarily stored to a FIFO message queue, for possible inclusion in a second persistent log file. A health monitoring service for monitoring application programs corresponding to various business functions, upon detecting a degraded health state of a business function, may cause messages stored in the message queue to be dumped to a second persistent log file.
