Scalable dynamic JMX federation

Abstract:

An example framework and method facilitate instrumentation and management of computing environment resources, wherein the resources are distributed across various servers of the computing environment. The example framework employs a distributed synchronized tree or registry of information describing servers (e.g., MBean servers) and associated resources (e.g., as may be represented by MBeans) of the computing environment. A replica of the tree is maintained by each server. The tree facilitates peer-to-peer networking between participating servers for the purposes of discovering and sharing access to software management functionality (e.g., as may be provided via MBeans) offered thereby, and obviates reliance upon a centralized management server or network node to provide management functionality for all participating computing resources that may be distributed across servers of the network.
