Abstract: A method includes, at an edge location, receiving one or more threshold settings associated with a sensor, configuring a rule specifying a trigger condition for a task, wherein the trigger condition is based on the one or more threshold settings, receiving a sensor data stream from the sensor, determining that the trigger condition has been satisfied, and responsive to the determination that the trigger condition has been satisfied, automatically executing the task specified by the rule.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a sensor data stream from a sensor, determining that the sensor data stream is associated with a sensor fidelity rule specifying a triggering event, a fidelity modification, and a modification period, sampling the sensor data stream according to a first sampling interval, responsive to occurrence of a triggering event, changing the first sampling interval to a second sampling interval based on the fidelity modification, wherein the second sampling interval is different from the first sampling interval, determining whether the modification period has elapsed and whether the triggering event is active, and sampling the sensor data stream according to the second sampling interval when it is determined that the modification period has not elapsed and the triggering event is active.

Abstract: The same command surface on a page may be associated with unrelated components and applications. Each of the components registers the commands associated with a shared command surface that they will be utilizing. Each component may utilize an arbitrary number of commands that are associated with the command surface. The command manager acts as a message broker between the components on the page and the command surfaces. When a command that is associated with a command surface is received, the command manager dispatches the command message to the appropriate components.

Abstract: Management of an Information Technology environment is facilitated by preparing the environment for management. The environment is prepared for a specific management goal, such as an availability goal or a performance goal. To prepare the environment, one or more recommended preparatory actions are selected, initiated and monitored. Resources associated with the actions are also monitored.

Abstract: The projected effect of executing a proposed action on the computing environment is determined. Based on the projected effect, programmatic enforcement of whether the action is allowed to execute or not is provided. The action is selected based on the current status of the environment.

Abstract: A change to a goal specified for an IT environment is to be made. Responsive to the changed goal, the IT environment is changed. This change is performed non-disruptively. Further, during the change, management to the existing goal is continued.

Abstract: Recovery processing is defined that matches the scope of an outage. A programmatic analysis of the resources that have been impacted, of implications of the failure and what degradations have occurred is performed to construct an appropriate level of recovery. This includes selecting the appropriate set of resources to be recovered. Recovery operations are selected based on the current state of the environment.

Abstract: A cross-browser dialog platform is provided for supporting hosted web pages in a dialog, such that a web page may be used inside or outside the dialog. Select elements on the hosted page may be hidden when in a dialog, different behavior may be specified for hyperlinks inside or outside the dialog, and a proper size of the dialog may be inferred from its contents without designer input.

Abstract: Real-time data of business applications of an Information Technology environment is monitored to obtain information to be used in managing the environment. A business application includes processing collectively performed by a plurality of components of the environment. A component includes one or more resources, and therefore, in one example, the real-time data being monitored is associated with those resources.

Abstract: Workflows to be used in managing a computing environment are dynamically and programmatically created and/or activities are invoked, based on the current state of the environment. In creating a workflow, activities are conditionally included in the workflow based on the state of the environment. Different types of workflows may be created.

Abstract: Templates are provided and used in an Information Technology (IT) environment. A template represents a pattern of resources and resource relationships of the IT environment. Templates are applied to automatically generate recommendations of programmatic representations of artifacts of the IT environment. The artifacts include Recovery Segments, Redundancy Groups, Business Resilience Manager deployment configurations and/or resource pairing represented by relationship data stores, as examples.

Abstract: Management of a customer's IT environment is facilitated by correlating events that occur within the environment, obtaining information relating to those events, and performing actions, such as environment tuning or recovery actions, based on the information. Discrete phases of processing are used to obtain the information and/or perform the actions. One or more of these discrete processing phases have tunable time intervals associated therewith. That is, at least one time interval is dynamically adjusted based on the runtime state of the environment.

Abstract: The scope and impact of an event, such as a failure, are identified. A Containment Region is used to identify the resources affected by the event. It is also used to aggregate resource state for those resources. This information is then used to manage one or more aspects of a customer's environment. This management may include recovery from a failure.

Abstract: Programmatically adapting an Information Technology (IT) environment to changes associated with business applications of the IT environment. The programmatically adapting is performed in the context of the business application. The changes can reflect changes in the IT environment, changes to the business application, changes to the business environment and/or failures within the environment, as examples.

Abstract: A Pattern System Environment is formed. The Pattern System Environment is a representation of information technology (IT) resources of a customer's business environment. The Pattern System Environment is based on information associated with the IT resources of the customer, and that information indicates how the IT resources are utilized during a business cycle of the customer. Pattern System Environments are usable in many environments, including those that support business resiliency.
