Abstract
Techniques for managing an upgrade operation comprising multiple upgrade process executing on multiple host machines (or hosts) for upgrading software applications on the multiple hosts. Techniques are disclosed for managing notifications that are generated by the multiple upgrade processes during execution, and more particular, techniques for reducing the number of notifications that are sent to a user. The techniques include: only sending a subset of the generated notifications to a user, the subset being selected at the host machines based upon notifications level criteria specified by the user for the host machines; consolidating multiple generated notifications into a fewer number of consolidated notifications and only sending consolidated notifications to the user; combination of criteria-based selection and notifications consolidation.
