A single-geo system includes a network configuration generator and a first computing system rack, or a multi-geo system includes a network configuration generator, a first computing system rack, and a second computing system rack are described. The system receives network information for a first plurality of nodes and a second plurality of nodes, and generates a system-wide network configuration file including network configuration information for the first plurality of nodes and the second plurality of nodes. Each plurality of nodes includes a controller node to receive the system-wide network configuration file, identify network configuration information for this plurality of nodes in the system-wide network configuration file as being part of the computing system rack, and update network configuration for this plurality of nodes based on the identified network configuration information for the computing system rack.

Distributed computing system configuration

A system and method embodied in a monitoring engine configured to create plug-ins to define functionality including rule-based configuration syntax adapted to intuitively and automatically launch the plug-ins as necessary in a software-based infrastructure or environment. The monitoring engine also includes a capability for tracing multi-threaded asynchronous logging onto a single file, by assigning a unique identification to each thread or rule initiated and facilitating each log according to a specific format and to formulate a combination of all the different thread identifications into a master unique identification that is easily traceable through an entire log file.

Rule-based monitoring engine with tracing capabilities for multi-threaded logging

A system and method for seamlessly and automatically handling outdated resources in a cloud and/or performing a multiple-version upgrade within the cloud with little visibility of interim operations to end users are presented. Mechanisms ensure that outdated resources do not communicate with the rest of the cloud (for example, via distributed data models and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) before they are upgraded to a target software level. A multiple-version upgrade is implemented in the cloud by a single upgrade operation, by which internal paths for upgrading through various interim versions of software are concealed from end users of the cloud.
