US Patent 11188435 Health monitoring for cloud computing platforms

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for implementing a health monitoring system for a cloud application platform. One of the methods includes deploying, by a health monitoring application of a cloud application platform that provisions resources from an underlying cloud infrastructure system, probes for testing components of the cloud application platform. Each probe is configured to perform tests that measure performance of a component of the cloud application platform. A probe can attempt to provision resources from the underlying cloud infrastructure system by launching a test application on the cloud application platform and determine whether the test application launched successfully using resources from the underlying cloud infrastructure system. The health monitoring application receives results of the tests and provides, for display in a graphical user interface, a representation of a history of the results of the tests for at least one of the components.
