Virtual Machine Traffic Monitoring and Alert System for Data Centers (DEAL 357)

This patent is generally related to monitoring of virtual machines into data centers. Disclosed is a technique to generate an alert by analysing traffic data on a virtual machine in a data center. Techniques are disclosed to create a virtual machine at a data center by receiving a request from a user to perform a service. The system generates an alert by analysing traffic data at a port in the data center when the virtual machine is in communication with a destination address through the port and the destination port is outside the data centre. The system compares the destination port address with the data center address and generates an alert. Also disclosed are techniques to send a message to the destination address to restrict the execution of the virtual machine. The technology may be implemented in data centres, cloud systems, remote data centres, etc.
