Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer implemented method for assessing network bandwidth availability in a network connection having unknown excess capacity beyond an initial network capacity is provided. There are two cases to be considered: (1) the network has a given capacity and the system doesn't know what it is (e.g., on a cellular network) this capacity may change over time as more users use the network and/or a user is mobile, and (2) the system is assigned capacity but by pushing the network, the system may be able to get more capacity (e.g., on a satellite hub). The excess capacity may be quantified for future potential opportunistic, emergency or priority usage, or in some embodiments, utilized periodically or continuously.

Abstract: A service monitoring system executing on one or more processors may have operations that are determined by control information. Control over the operation of the service monitoring system can be exerted through the use of a graphical interface. The graphical interface may present the control information of a new or existing correlation search definition for user interaction. The service monitoring system may maintain a data store of key performance indicator (KPI) data, where a KPI value in the data store is produced by a KPI-defining search query that derives the value from machine data associated with one or more entities that perform a monitored service. A correlation search definition of the service monitoring system determines how a search of the KPI data is conducted, how its data is evaluated to determine whether a triggering condition has been met, and, if so, determines what triggered action is to be initiated.

Abstract: Approaches presented herein relate to the management of compatibility and support issues in a networked resource environment. An analyzer service can be used to attempt to identify potential or existing compatibility and other such issues in the environment, as may occur when updating to a new communication protocol or data standard. Such a service can analyze an environment at multiple levels, such as at an infrastructure, services, operating system, and/or code level. For any identified issue, the service can provide information about the issue, as well as one or more recommendations for remediation where available. For at least certain types of issues where permitted, the service can perform a remediation, such as to remove hard-coded dependencies or perform pending software updates. Compatibility monitoring can also be performed over time to ensure continued compatibility, including for additions or modifications in the environment.
