A cloud service to facilitate performance by a first organization of an assessment of an enterprise network of a second organization is described. According to one aspect, the cloud service performs the following operations with approval from the second organization. Specifically, the cloud service causes client software to be installed on a plurality of endpoints within the enterprise network to determine a first information regarding a current state of those endpoints. Also, the cloud service receives a second information that is based on the first information, and then causes a third information to be securely shared with the first organization. The third information is the second information or is based on the second information, and the third information is limited, through a set of one or more mechanisms, to that considered to be acceptable to share with another organization.

Assessment of the enterprise network of another organization

Performance of a collection of machines, arranged in a linear sequence of machines that form a linear communication orbit (LCO), is monitored. Multiple machines in the LCO receive, via the LCO, a set of rules (or various subsets of the same set of rules), each rule specifying one or a combination of conditions (e.g., a performance metric and corresponding criterion) for satisfying the rule, evaluate those rules with respect to locally occurring events and local processes, and store results of those evaluations in a local database. In response to a query sent to the machines via the LCO, each of the machines returns a report, including information identifying processes whose performance during the specified time period satisfies at least one rule in the set of one or more rules. Those reports are aggregated and used to generate a merged report reflecting performance information with respect to a set of machines.

Evaluating machine and process performance in distributed system

In response to a performance query sent to the machines via the LCO, each of the machines returns a report, including information identifying processes whose performance during the specified time period satisfies at least one rule in the set of one or more rules. Those reports are aggregated and used to present performance information to a user.
