Abstract
Provided is a method of identifying a computing resource requiring monitoring for a security purpose in a cloud-based data center during creation of a service template involving the computing resource. The identified computing resource is depicted in the service template. Upon receipt of a request for creating a service instance based on the service template, the service instance is created based on the service template and the identified computer resource is simultaneously monitored for the security purpose.
Claims19
A method of automating monitoring of a computing resource in a cloud-based data center, comprising:
- identifying a computing resource requiring monitoring for a security purpose in the cloud-based data center during creation of a service template involving the computing resource;
- depicting, by a processor, the identified computing resource in the service template;
- and
- in response to receipt of a request for creating a service instance based on the service template, creating the service instance based on the service template and simultaneously monitoring, by the processor, the identified computer resource depicted in the service template for the security purpose, including monitoring log messages generated by the identified computer resource and scanning the log messages to identify a security threat or attack.
A method of automating monitoring of a log source in a cloud-based data center, comprising:
- identifying the log source requiring monitoring for a security purpose in the cloud-based data center in a service template involving the log source;
- highlighting the identified log source in the service template;
- and
- in response to receipt of a user's request for creating a service instance based on the service template, creating the service instance based on the service template and initiating monitoring of the identified log source highlighted in the service template for the security purpose, including monitoring log messages generated by the identified log source and scanning the log messages to identify a security threat or attack.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
- identify a computing resource in a cloud-based data center that requires monitoring for a security purpose during creation of a service template involving the computing resource;
- depict the identified computing resource in the service template;
- and
- in response to receipt of a request for creating a service instance, create the service instance based on the service template and monitor the identified computer resource depicted in the service template for the security purpose,
- wherein to monitor the identified computer resource, the instructions are to cause the processor to monitor log messages generated by the identified computer resource and scan the log messages to identify a security threat or attack.
