  • Patent number: 11805146
    Abstract: A modified configuration management database (CMDB) system is disclosed in which detected configuration item (CI) vulnerabilities are stored as less-resource-intensive detection objects, rather than as more-resource-intensive vulnerable item (VI) objects. The system includes a vulnerability response (VR) server that enables promotion rules to be created and periodically applied to the stored detections. When the conditions of a detection promotion rule are satisfied by information relating to a stored detection, a new VI may be created and related to the stored detection within the CMDB. The disclosed promotion rules can be configured to ensure that VIs are only automatically created for high-risk or relevant detections, substantially reducing the number of VIs to be created, stored, and managed. As such, the disclosed system substantially reduces resource consumption and improves the efficiency and operation of the CMDB.

  • Patent number: 11797501
    Abstract: Methods and systems described herein are directed to aggregating and querying log messages. Methods and systems determine event types of log message generated by event sources of the distributed computing system. The event types are aggregated into aggregated records for a shortest time unit and event types are aggregated into aggregated records for longer time units based on the aggregated records associated with the shortest time unit. In response to a query regarding occurrences of an event type in a query time interval, the query time interval is split into subintervals with time lengths that range from the shortest time unit to a longest time unit that lie within the query time interval. The method determines a total event count of occurrences of the event type in the query time interval based on the aggregated records with time stamps in the subintervals. The event count in the query time interval may be used to detect abnormal behavior of the event sources.

  • Patent number: 11775532
    Abstract: Techniques for fully or comprehensively resolving relationships within and among different data sets are disclosed. The techniques evaluate identification tags of respective transaction records to resolve transitive relationships between and among the identification tags, which vary across the different data sets. Based on this resolving, the techniques comprehensively sort the identification tags into mutually exclusive sets of related identification tags. Additionally, the techniques resolve and sort identification tags that are transitively unrelated to every other identification tag. At least these features enable comprehensive identification and intelligent sorting of related/unrelated transaction records, provide enhanced transaction tracking and security, more efficient and accurate transaction record storage (and in particular, of composite records), and enhanced tracking accuracy of accounts or types of units) as compared to known techniques.

  • Patent number: 11720595
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for generating a query using training observations are described. According to the techniques described herein, a device (e.g., an application server) may receive a set of queries including a set of fields in a tenant-specific dataset associated with the query. The device may generate a set of training observations for the queries based on the set of fields. The device then trains a first machine learning model to determine grouping hierarchies and a second machine learning model to determine aggregation predictions. The device then builds a combined machine learning model based on the determined grouping hierarchies and the aggregation predictions. According to techniques described herein, the device uses the determined grouping hierarchies and the aggregation predictions to rank a set of suggested queries determined in response to an input query and selects a suggested query for display based on the ranking.

  • Patent number: 11669494
    Abstract: Embodiments for optimizing data storage instances in a cloud environment in which metadata is stored and accessed separately from content data in multiple different instances of data storage units. A metadata and content data storage instance optimization process determines the status of different instances of virtual storage resources for both metadata and content data. Full instances are powered down when they are not needed, empty instances are deleted, and data of partially full instances is moved to other appropriate instances to create empty instances that can be deleted. The data storage instance optimization process is provided as part of a data protection search process that provides an execution environment and user interface to the optimization process.

  • Patent number: 11663209
    Abstract: A distributed computer system for delivering data to client-side application(s) is provided. The system includes a database configured to store immutable data blocks, a data distribution entity configured to split source-data into immutable data blocks and metadata. The data distribution entity is configured to replicate and store the data blocks on different storage nodes(s) of the database. The metadata comprises values referencing the data blocks for a key-value database call. The system further comprises a data fetching/delivering entity with a fuse-daemon configured to form a quorum read request for data block(s) out of a client-side request for a certain data range. The quorum-read request is a bundle of parallel requests to different storage nodes. The fuse-daemon is configured to fetch the data blocks delivered in the fastest response and to discard the rest. The fuse-daemon generates a virtual file comprising the corresponding range of data from the fetched data blocks.

  • Patent number: 11645276
    Abstract: Aggregation of data and subsequent diving and/or grouping (i.e., slicing and dicing) of the aggregated data occurs by multi-stage parallel processing. Initially, multiple aggregation jobs are executed in parallel to aggregate data from a granular level to a higher level. Subsequently, query sets are executed in parallel for each of the aggregation jobs to divide and/or group the higher level data according to the queries and the segregated results are stored in a single table, which is partitioned for each aggregation job. Parallel processing of the query sets and storage in a single table is made possible by implementing a hybrid dynamic database schema, in which each table in the database includes one or more additional fields, each additional field comprising a set of dimension-dimension value pairs.
