Abstract:
1. A method, in a data processing system, for performing centralized monitoring of application sessions across a distributed computing environment comprising a plurality of application servers, comprising: receiving, in the data processing system, a request to perform an application session monitoring operation to monitor at least one of input or output streams of application sessions associated with a specified user account identifier; identifying, by the data processing system, a plurality of application instances across the plurality of application servers upon which to perform the requested application session monitoring operation; transmitting, by the data processing system, an application session monitoring request to a plurality of session control clients associated with the plurality of application instances executing on a plurality of application servers of the distributed computing environment, wherein the application session monitoring request causes each session control client, in the plurality of session control clients, to monitor at least one of an input or an output stream of the application sessions of the application instances, associated with the session control client, that are associated with the specified user account identifier, and report results of the monitoring back to the data processing system; receiving, by the data processing system, the results from the plurality of session control clients; and performing, by the data processing system, a termination operation to terminate executing application sessions of the application instances associated with the specified user account identifier.
