Selective event registration

A signal-bearing medium encoded with instructions, wherein the instructions when executed comprise:

• registering each of a plurality of partitions in a logically-partitioned computer to send events that are local to each of the plurality of partitions to an aggregation component;
• selecting a first partition from the plurality of partitions;
• and
• registering the first partition to send events associated with a group of the plurality of partitions to the aggregation component.

A logically-partitioned computer comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory encoded with instructions, wherein the instructions when executed on the processor comprise:
• registering each of a plurality of partitions in the logically-partitioned computer to send events that are local to each of the plurality of partitions to an aggregation component,
• selecting a first partition from the plurality of partitions,
• registering the first partition to send events associated with a group of the plurality of partitions to the aggregation component, and
• if a connection to the first partition is unavailable, registering the first partition to cancel sending events associated with the group, selecting a second partition of the plurality of partitions, and registering the second partition to send events associated with the group to the aggregation component.

A method for configuring a logically-partitioned computer, comprising:

• configuring the logically-partitioned computer to register each of a plurality of partitions in the logically-partitioned computer to send events that are local to each of the plurality of partitions to an aggregation component;
• configuring the logically-partitioned computer to select a first partition from the plurality of partitions;
• and
• configuring the logically-partitioned computer to register the first partition to send events associated with a group of the plurality of partitions to the aggregation component;
