ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for obtaining information about a deployment of a software application are disclosed. One system comprises a plurality of deployment servers running components of the software application deployment, a plurality of monitors associated with the deployment servers, and an analysis subsystem that generates requests for state metrics from the deployment, based on rules describing known problems with the software application. The analysis subsystem transmits each request for state metrics to a monitor associated with a deployment server that is associated with the request. The monitors are configured to receive the requests for state metrics from the analysis subsystem and collect the state metrics from one of the components of the software application deployment. The monitors, which can reside on the deployment servers or locally with respect to the analysis subsystem, can transmit the collected state metrics back to the analysis subsystem. An application model storing a representation of objects of the deployment can also be provided, wherein the analysis subsystem queries the application model for deployment information necessary to transmit the requests for state metrics to appropriate ones of the monitors. The monitors can be configured to conduct post-processing of collected state metrics, and also to prevent redundant collection.
