STATUS REPORTING IN DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS

Abstract: in an embodiment, a method for determining a state of a system is provided. the method includes organizing the plurality of nodes into a plurality of clusters, receiving by each cluster of the plurality of clusters a status request, and determining, by each cluster, after receiving the status request, a status from each node of the at least one node. the method also includes using, by each cluster, a consensus algorithm to determine a current status of a particular cluster based on the status of each of the at least one node associated with the particular cluster and reporting the current status of the particular cluster to a control plane of the system. the method further includes using, by the control plane, a second consensus algorithm to determine the state of the system based on the current status received from each cluster of the plurality of clusters and indicating to a user the determined state of the system.
