Automatic monitoring of containerized microservices in computing clusters
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11909604B2) discloses a computer-implemented method for the automatic monitoring of containerized microservices. The method involves receiving information about a microservice running in containers within a computing cluster, adding monitoring configurations to the microservice's dataset via an API request to the cluster manager, collecting monitoring data as the microservice runs, and transmitting this data to a user device associated with the microservice. The patent also covers features such as issuing initial requests for data on new microservices, identifying the creator of the microservice, managing configuration templates, generating a graphical user interface for configuration management, and providing contextual information related to the microservice for monitoring purposes.
Furthermore, the patent includes details on specific configurations that can be added for monitoring, such as performance metric criteria for alerts, routing information, report organization, and access privilege details. It also mentions the use of Kubernetes as the cluster manager, the creation of annotations and labels in configuration files, and the generation of computing performance metrics for each container. The method outlined in the patent involves the use of non-transitory storage media storing instructions for executing the monitoring process, including steps for handling new microservices, user identification, GUI management, and contextual information transmission. Overall, the patent provides a comprehensive framework for automatically monitoring containerized microservices within a computing cluster, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of monitoring operations in such environments.
