Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method and system for providing up-to-date monitoring results in a virtual machine environment are described. In one embodiment, a host controller receives a new query pertaining to at least one object in a virtual machine system from a client, and determines whether the new query is similar to any queries previously received from other clients. If the new query is similar to any of the previously received queries, the host controller provides data pertaining to a result of a last execution of the similar query to the client. If the new query is not similar to any of the previously received queries, the host controller executes the new query and provides a result of an execution of the new query to the client.
