Disclosed below are representative embodiments of methods, apparatus, and systems for managing and classifying assets in an information technology ('IT') environment using a tag-based approach. The disclosed tag-based classification techniques can be implemented through a graphical user interface. Embodiments of the disclosed tag-based classification techniques can be used to allow a user to easily and quickly select and perform actions on groups of one or more assets (e.g., monitor policies, perform upgrades, etc.). For example, the tag-based classification techniques can automatically classify assets into “tag sets” (or “tagged sets”) based on node properties or user-selected criteria or conditions (e.g., criteria or conditions that are established in a user-created tagging profile or rule). The tagged assets can then be further filtered to identify even deeper relationships between the assets.

Managing and classifying assets in an information technology environment using tags

Disclosed below are representative embodiments of methods, apparatus, and systems for managing and classifying assets in an information technology ('IT') environment using a tag-based approach. The disclosed tag-based classification techniques can be implemented through a graphical user interface. Embodiments of the disclosed tag-based classification techniques can be used to allow a user to easily and quickly select, and perform actions on groups of one or more assets (e.g., monitor policies, perform upgrades, etc.). For example, the tag-based classification techniques can automatically classify assets into 'tag sets' (or &#x201c;tagged sets&#x201d;) based on node properties or user-selected criteria or conditions (e.g., criteria or conditions that are established in a user-created tagging profile or rule). The tagged assets can then be further filtered to identify even deeper relationships between the assets.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and systems for generating an alert based upon detection of a pattern of events within a virtual infrastructure. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
