摘要：Some embodiments of the invention provide a novel architecture for capturingcontextual attributes on host computers that execute one or more machines, and forconsuming the captured contextual attributes to perform services on the host

computers. The machines are virtual machines (VMs) in some embodiments, containers inother embodiments, or a mix of VMs and containers in still other embodiments. Someembodiments execute a guest-introspection (GI) agent on each machine from whichcontextual attributes need to be captured. In addition to executing one or more

machines on each host computer, these embodiments also execute a context engine andone or more attribute-based service engines on each host computer. Through the GIagents of the machines on a host, the context engine of that host in some embodimentscollects contextual attributes associated with network events and/or process events onthe machines. The context engine then provides the contextual attributes to the serviceengines, which, in turn, use these contextual attributes to identify service rules forprocessing.
