Abstract: According to some embodiments, a system provides a resource service module, a resource data record repository, and a provider module. The resource service module exposes an interface, receives an invocation of the interface from a system management module, and requests managed resource data associated with a manageable resource based on the invocation. The resource data record repository includes a resource data record indicating a memory location of a managed host in which the managed resource data is stored, and the provider module receives the request and retrieves the managed resource data from the memory location of the managed host.

Abstract: A device management system includes a backplane, a device that communicates via the backplane and that stores identification information, a management module that receives the identification information and that provides a diagnostic module that corresponds to the identification information, and a controller associated with the device. The controller provides the identification information to the management module, receives the diagnostic module from the management module, and outputs diagnostic information for the device that is obtained via the diagnostic module.

Abstract: A management service processor to provide management of virtual machine monitoring is described. In one example, an event on a computer system is monitored at a sensor of a management system residing on the computer system. A record of the event is generated in a generic data format. The event is signaled to the management system, and the record is sent to an event routing service of the management system.
