Sending alerts from cloud computing systems

A method for sending an alert message from a cloud computing system to an external system, comprising:

• collecting at least one alert for the cloud computing system;
• determining a time for sending the at least one alert as an alert message to the external system;
• determining a transmission type of the alert message;
• preparing the alert message according to the transmission type;
• determining that the alert message is not transmissible in unaltered form based on a size of the alert message exceeding a permitted size according to the determined transmission type;
• partitioning the alert message into a plurality of independent partitioned messages;
• and
• sending the plurality of partitioned messages to the external system.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing software for sending an alert message from a cloud computing system to an external system, the software comprising:

• executable code that collects at least one alert for the cloud computing system;
• executable code that determines a time for sending the at least one alert as an alert message to the external system based at least on content of the alert message, wherein each alert corresponds to at least one of:
• a compute resource, a network resource, or a storage resource;
• executable code that determines a transmission type of the alert message;
• executable code that prepares the alert message according to the transmission type;
• executable code that partitions the alert message into a plurality of independent partitioned messages;
• and
• executable code that sends the plurality of partitioned messages to the external system.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing software for sending an alert message from a cloud computing system to an external system, the software further comprising:

• executable code that collects at least one alert for the cloud computing system;
• executable code that determines a time for sending the at least one alert as an alert message to the external system;
• executable code that determines a transmission type of the alert message;
• executable code that prepares the alert message according to the transmission type;
• executable code that determines that the alert message is not transmissible in unaltered form based on a size of the alert message exceeding a permitted size according to the determined transmission type;
• executable code that partitions the alert message into a plurality of independent partitioned messages;
• and
• executable code that sends the plurality of partitioned messages to the external system.

A cloud computing system that sends an alert message to an external system, comprising:

• at least one cloud processing component, wherein the cloud processing component is at least one of:
• a compute component, a network component or a storage component;
• and
• a manager component that includes at least one processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing software executable by the at least one processor, the software including:
• executable code that collects at least one alert for the cloud computing system;
• executable code that determines a time for sending the at least one alert as an alert message to the external system based at least on content of the alert message, wherein each alert corresponds to at least one of:
• a compute resource, a network resource, or a storage resource;
• executable code that determines a transmission type of the alert message;
• executable code that prepares the alert message according to the transmission type;
• executable code that partitions the alert message into an independent plurality of partitioned messages;
• and
• executable code that sends the plurality of partitioned messages to the external system.
