A newly filed patent (Publication Number: US20240039984A1) describes a system designed to monitor various resources of a client, including computing, storage, and networking equipment spread across multiple geographic locations. The system involves one or more computing devices of an infrastructure service provider network generating a graphical user interface (GUI) to display information about these resources and allow user input for controlling them. Users can define rules through the GUI that trigger actions on the resources based on detected conditions. When a condition is identified, the system sends a message to a messaging service and prompts an action service to execute the specified action on the resources.

Furthermore, the patent outlines the method by which the system operates, emphasizing the monitoring of client resources across different data centers, including private networks and virtual compute instances hosted by the infrastructure service provider network. The action service responsible for executing actions on resources is located in the client's data center and interacts with the messaging service to receive instructions. Messages describing the actions to be performed are transmitted via Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) requests over the Internet. The patent also details the storage of program instructions on computer-readable media that enable the system to monitor resources, generate GUI data, define rules, and trigger actions based on detected conditions, showcasing a comprehensive approach to resource management and control.
