Peer to peer monitoring framework for transaction tracking

An information handling system that is a first peer node selected from a plurality of peer nodes, the information handling system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a memory accessible by at least one of the processors;
• a nonvolatile storage medium accessible by at least one of the processors;
• a network adapter that connects the information handling system to a computer network that is shared by a plurality of peer nodes that includes the information handling system;
• and
• a set of instructions stored in the memory and executed by at least one of the processors in order to perform actions of:
• transmitting a load balance request from a first peer node selected from a plurality of peer nodes to one or more of the plurality of peer nodes, the transmitting performed via a computer network, wherein the plurality of peer nodes are included in a transaction tracking framework, wherein a set of the plurality of peer nodes that include the first peer node each have assigned one or more transaction tracking responsibilities, and wherein the transmitting is performed in response to identifying that the first peer node is performing at a non-optimal level;
• receiving, at the first peer node, one or more responses from the one or more of the plurality of peer nodes;
• determining, based on the received responses, whether to handover a selected one or more of the transaction tracking responsibilities assigned to the first peer node;
• identifying a second peer node selected from the one or more of the plurality of peer nodes, the identifying performed in response to the determination being to handover the selected one or more transaction tracking responsibilities;
• and
• sending a handover message from the first peer node to the second peer node, wherein the handover message assigns at least one of the first peer node's assigned transaction responsibilities assigned to the second peer node.

A computer program product stored in a computer readable medium, comprising functional descriptive material that, when executed by an information handling system, causes the information handling system to perform actions comprising:

• transmitting a load balance request from a first peer node selected from a plurality of peer nodes to one or more of the plurality of peer nodes, the transmitting performed via a computer network, wherein the plurality of peer nodes are included in a transaction tracking framework, wherein a set of the plurality of peer nodes that include the first peer node each have assigned one or more transaction tracking responsibilities, and wherein the transmitting is performed in response to identifying that the first peer node is performing at a non-optimal level;
• receiving, at the first peer node, one or more responses from the one or more of the plurality of peer nodes;
• determining, based on the received responses, whether to handover a selected one or more of the transaction tracking responsibilities assigned to the first peer node;
• identifying a second peer node selected from the one or more of the plurality of peer nodes, the identifying performed in response to the determination being to handover the selected one or more transaction tracking responsibilities;
• and
• sending a handover message from the first peer node to the second peer node, wherein the handover message assigns at least one of the first peer node's assigned transaction responsibilities assigned to the second peer node.
