Abstract

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for monitoring distributed applications. Declarative application models are used. Operational data for a deployed application can be compared to an application intent expressed in a corresponding declarative application to provide more effective monitoring of application behavior. Application components can subscribe to an event fabric to receive configurations that indicate what events the application is to emit (i.e., publish into the event fabric) for monitoring. Thus, applications essentially subscribe to produce information (as opposed to subscribing to receive information). Monitoring can be dynamically adjusted in response to environment changes.
