Abstract: A method (300;600) and system for monitoring distributed applications (for example, running on multiple WAS nodes of a cluster) is proposed. The solution of the invention is based on a self-adaptive resource management infrastructure. Particularly, an authority publishes (306-312) a plurality of rules, each one defining a desired target configuration for a category of subjects. A membership controller on each subject is responsible to assign (315-333) the subject to the respective category; a compliance engine then retrieves and applies (336-351) the rules corresponding to the category of the subject. The resource management infrastructure is used to implement a monitoring on-demand of the distributed application. For this purpose, two rules are defined (603-606) for the WAS nodes having the distributed application in a running condition and in a non-running condition, respectively. Each WAS node having the distributed application in the running condition applies (639-645) the first rule, so as to start the monitoring application; as soon as the distributed application switches to the non-running condition, the WAS node applies (654-657) the second rule, so as to stop the monitoring application automatically.

Abstract: A problem with resource management is the control of the application sequence of policies on target machines, as they are often dependent on one another. The present invention utilizes service management policies (Ps1) to update status information of each target therefore making them aware of the status of the other targets. This is done without the targets having to directly communicate with each other, or the server itself having to apply or process the operative management policies. The method of the invention involves deploying a set of operative management policies to a set of target computing machines to cause the target computing machine to verify the application condition of each assigned operative management policy according to status information available on the target computing machine and to apply each assigned operative management policy with no application condition or having the application condition being satisfied by executing the corresponding management activity. The method then receives an indication of an application outcome of each applied operative management policy, and then creates a set of service management policies (Ps1) each one for at least one of the applied operative management policies according to the corresponding application outcome, the management activity of each service management policy being configured to update the status information of the target computing machine wherein the service management policy is applied according to the application outcome of the corresponding at least one applied operative management policy. The service management policies are then deployed.
