Abstract
Detecting failures of interconnected machines. A method includes establishing a machine to machine lease at a first machine using a first lease agent at the first machine to a second lease agent at a second machine as a result of an application on the first machine requesting to establish a lease with an application on the second machine. Using the machine to machine lease, the method further includes detecting a communication failure between the first machine and the second machine or a machine failure of the second machine.
Claims20
A method of detecting failures of interconnected machines, the method comprising:
- establishing a machine to machine lease at a first machine using a first lease agent at the first machine to a second lease agent at a second machine as a result of an application on the first machine requesting to establish a lease with an application on the second machine;
- and
- using the machine to machine lease, detecting a communication failure between the first machine and the second machine or a machine failure of the second machine.
A method of detecting failures of interconnected machines, the method comprising:
- establishing a machine to machine lease at a first machine using a first lease agent at the first machine as the result of a first application instance on the first machine requesting to establish a lease with a second application instance;
- and
- using the lease detecting an application failure of the second application instance.
A system for detecting failures of interconnected machines, the system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more computer readable media, wherein the one or more computer readable media comprise computer executable instructions that when executed by at least one of the processors cause the system to perform the following:
- establishing a machine to machine lease at a first machine using a first lease agent at the first machine to a second lease agent at a second machines as a result of an application on the first machine requesting to establish a lease with an application on the second machine;
- and
- using the machine to machine lease, detecting a communication failure between the first machine and the second machine or a machine failure of the second machine.
