Subject: Re: [wsdm] [UPlat] Action items for next weeks meeting - logging & lifecycle
Here's my homework for logging and lifecycle: Logging Logging is the action in which message producers generate log artifacts, i.e., atomic expressions of diagnostic information, that may or may not be used at a later time by other, independent, message consumers. Secure logging is required for audit trails needed to fulfill judiciary and organizational policy requirements, to reconcile security related inconsistencies, and to provide for forensic evidence both after the fact and real-time. Lifecycle Lifecycle is a set of states that a resource can be in and the valid transitions between those states. A resource goes through a set of states and transitions throughout its life. Lifecycle provides the capability to manage the actual operational state of a resource, operations to influence a change in the state of a resources, and events indicating when a state change has occurred. An application or management tool uses the lifecycle information for a resource to better manage that resource. For example, valid operations or valid property values of a resource may be determined through introspection of a resource's state to aid the application or management tool in doing those actions only in the state in which those actions are valid. This is important in autonomic systems where actions taken do not expect exceptions to be thrown. Ellen
