Monitoring and controlling applications executing in a computing node

摘要

A method and system for monitoring and controlling applications executing on computing nodes of a computing system. A status request process, one or more control processes, an untrusted application and one other application are executed on a computing node. The status request process receives and processes requests for the statuses of the untrusted and the other application. A first control process controls the execution of the untrusted application. A second control process controls the execution of the other application. The execution of the untrusted application terminates based on a failure of the untrusted application. A capability of the status request process to receive and process the requests for statuses, and a capability of the second control process to control the execution of the other application are preserved in response to the termination of the untrusted application.
