An embodiment includes a method of self-election of a node in a subnet. The method includes receiving a first ping message. The first ping message is unicast from a second node, includes direct information related to the second node, and includes indirect information related to a third node. The method includes updating a first status of the second node in a status list stored at the first node consistent with the direct information. The method includes determining whether statuses of a threshold number of nodes have been received. Responsive to the threshold number of nodes being received, the method includes performing a local election operation. The method includes propagating a second ping message to a randomly identified additional node. The second ping message includes direct information regarding the first node and indirect information regarding at least one other node.

A method of product update analysis and management includes receiving metadata of a product update related to a code change of an application on an endpoint of a managed network. The method includes scraping posts related to the product update from two different internet websites. The method includes aggregating the posts from the internet websites. The method includes quantifying a social volume from the aggregated posts. The social volume being a measure of discussion related to the product update. The method includes extracting content from the aggregated posts. Based on the extracted content, the method includes summarizing the posts into a collection of terms or phrases representative of a topic of the posts. The method includes causing display of an indication of the social volume and the collection of terms or phrases. The method includes implementing the product update to affect a change in program code at the application.

Automated product update analysis and management

A method for a self-electing service by a managed device is described. The method includes configuring the managed device with a service. The service is configured on at least one additional managed device in a network segment. The method also includes determining whether the managed device is selected to provide the service by negotiating with the at least one additional managed device in the network segment based on preconfigured election rules.

Systems and methods for providing a self-electing service

A method for provisioning a managed node is described. The method includes obtaining data indicating a set of resources to be downloaded. The data corresponds to a designated configuration. The method also includes sending parallel resource existence requests to peer nodes for one or more resources in the set of resources. The resource existence requests are sent within a managed network. The method further includes determining if one or more responses from the peer nodes are received. The method additionally includes downloading at least one resource from at least one of the peer nodes if at least one response is received indicating that at least one peer node has a requested resource. The method also includes downloading any remaining resource from an administrative system.
