HEALTH MONITORING OF APPLICATIONS IN A GUEST PARTITION
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- configuring, by a virtualization platform, at least one guest partition, each guest partition configured to execute at least one application, each guest partition configured to execute independent of other guest partitions and the virtualization platform;
monitoring, by the virtualization platform, execution of the application;
detecting at least one event associated with execution of the application;
determining a remedial action to remedy the event; and
applying the remedial action.

Abstract
A health monitoring technique monitors the health and performance of applications executing in a guest partition in a virtualized environment. In an embodiment, a guest integration component interacts with an application through an application programming interface in order for the virtualization platform to monitor the health and performance of the application. In another embodiment, the guest integration component may include a monitoring agent that accesses an event log and/or a performance monitor log to access the health and performance of the application. The health and performance of the application may then be analyzed by the virtualization platform to determine an appropriate remedial action.
