Claim:
1. A method comprising: monitoring execution of a first upgrade process on a first host machine, the first upgrade process upgrading a first software application on the first host machine; accessing, by a computing system, a runtime execution time for the first upgrade process, the runtime execution time captured for the first upgrade process during the monitoring of the execution of the first upgrade process; determining a first reference time defined for the first upgrade process for the first host machine, wherein the first reference time is different than a second reference time defined for the first upgrade process for a second host machine; determining a latency tolerance time for the first upgrade process; determining, based on the runtime execution time, that the first upgrade process continues execution after a total of the first reference time and the latency tolerance time has passed; determining, by the computing system that the first upgrade process executing on the first host machine is to be indicated as being in a hang state; and generating, by the computing system, an alert message indicating the first upgrade process executing on the first host machine is in the hang state.
