A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that, in an
embodiment, register each partition in a logically-partitioned computer
to send local events to an aggregation component and register a first
partition to send events associated with a group of partitions to the
aggregation component. In various embodiments, the group may be all of
the partitions or some of the partitions. If the connection to the first
partition is unavailable, the first partition is registered to cancel
sending events associated with the group, a second partition is selected,
and the second partition is registered to send events associated with the
group to the aggregation component. If the connection to the first
partition is restored subsequent to being unavailable, a determination is
made whether to change registration back to the first partition. In this
way, in an embodiment, redundant reporting of events is supported while
decreasing the number of events reported.
