Patent ID: 8713154

Claim:
One or more computer-storage memory devices having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, perform a method for monitoring one or more role instances of a service application propagated throughout a distributed computing platform, the method comprising: utilizing a monitoring agent to listen to data streaming from the one or more role instances, wherein the monitoring agent represents at least one software component deployed onto an operating system of a node; automatically reading a document pushed from the monitoring agent, wherein the document includes parameters abstracted from the streaming data; comparing the document's parameters against expected parameters; when one or more the document's parameters do not comply with the expected parameters upon performing the comparison, attempting to identify a root cause of the one or more noncompliant parameters; and reporting the root cause to at least one of a curator of the distributed computing platform, a developer of the service application, or a fabric controller that is responsible for automatically managing the one or more role instances with respect to constraints articulated by a service model associated with the service application.
