  • Patent number: 9571347
    Abstract: Examples of systems and methods are described for managing computing capacity by a provider of computing resources. The computing resources may include program execution capabilities, data storage or management capabilities, network bandwidth, etc. Multiple user programs can consume a single computing resource, and a single user program can consume multiple computing resources. Changes in usage and other environmental factors can require scaling of the computing resources to reduce or prevent a negative impact on performance. In some implementations, a fuzzy logic engine can be used to determine the appropriate adjustments to make to the computing resources associated with a program in order to keep a system metric within a desired operating range.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8850263
    Abstract: Technologies are described herein for incorporating streaming and/or sampling in real-time log analysis. Representative samples of log data are extracted from the log files on a number of monitored hosts and streamed in real-time to log processors for processing. The log processors accumulate and process the representative samples of log data, and track a data completeness value representing an indication of a proportion of total log data represented by the representative samples received. The representative samples of log data are merged and collated. Estimated metrics are calculated from the merged and collated representative samples and the data completeness, and the estimated metrics are published to consumers in near real-time.
