Patent number: 8838655Abstract: Technologies are described herein for applying type projection queries to instance space graphs. Through the utilization of the technologies and concepts presented herein, a type projection may be used to describe the hierarchy of instance types connected by relationships within an instance space graph. A type projection query based on the type projection may be dynamically generated to query instances and relationships within the instance store. Filter criteria for the query can be expressed using a path notation. Results from of the type projection query may be provided as graphs of instances and relationships which are subgraphs of the queried instance space graph. Programmatic traversal of the resultant subgraph can navigate to each instance node within the result space.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2013Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Joel Pothering, Jakub Oleksy, Ashvinkumar J.

Publication number: 20140258513Abstract: Technologies are described herein for cloud monitoring federations that can include cloud monitoring services (CMS) that collect monitoring information from point of presence (POP) agents. The cloud monitoring POPs may be located in the cloud, on client machines, embedded within cloud applications, or wherever they can obtain visibility into managed entities associated with the cloud. Management systems, acting as cloud monitoring clients (CMC), may interface with the CMS to obtain a complete view of services and application used by their enterprise including those that operate outside of the enterprise premises as part of a cloud or outside network. The publishing by POPs and consumption by CMCs of management information across components within the enterprise and out in the cloud may be supported by managing roles, responsibilities, scopes, security boundaries, authenticity of information, service level agreements, and other aspects of cloud monitoring operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2014Publication date: September 11, 2014Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ilarie Letca, Ashvinkumar J.

Patent number: 8788958Abstract: Computer services and other computer entities may be monitored and evaluated by using a model that defines the services and relationships between the services. The model may be used during discovery for finding entities and creating instances of the entities and instances of the relationships between entities. After discovery, data may be collected and stored in a database by monitoring or instrumenting the entity. Analysis of the data may include tracking performance and monitoring the health of a service or other entity. The relationships may be used to graphically display various entities in many useful manners, including graphical representations of the health of various entities.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2007Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ashvinkumar J Sanghvi, Baelson B Duque, Thomas F Theiner

Publication number: 20130091486Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of generating a compliance data model for information technology (IT) control. The compliance data model is capable of capturing data from technologies (e.g., software programs, file systems, etc.) and/or developers of those technologies for determining compliance of the technologies with regulations. The compliance data model may be used to automate generation of artifacts. Each artifact is machine-readable code that includes instructions regarding how to implement a control. A control is a software container that is associated with one or more elements, such as a control objective, a control activity, a control activity test, etc. The artifacts are usable by management systems to obtain data regarding installed technologies, settings of the technologies, configurations of the technologies, events that are being utilized by the technologies, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2011Publication date: April 11, 2013Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Thomas Pitcairn Gemmell, Gaurav Kapila, Bahadir B.

Patent number: 8402311Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of monitoring activity with respect to a distributed application. A server system includes logical tiers, each including processing system(s) configured to process messages in accordance with a respective protocol (e.g., an ASP.net® protocol, WCF protocol, SQL protocol, etc.). When a user initiates an activity with respect to a distributed application, hops are performed between the logical tiers and/or between components of the distributed application to complete the requested activity. A hop is a transfer of a message or a procedure call from one processing system to another processing system. A common identifier may be assigned to each of the hops that are performed with regard to the activity. If a failure occurs with respect to the activity, the common identifier may be used to gather information regarding the hops. For instance, the information may be used to determine a source of the failure.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2010Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Venkata Seshu Kumar Kurapati, Ilarie G.

Patent number: 7971187Abstract: Described are software stacks for accepting and implementing portable packages containing encodings of processes. The packages are portable and distinct from the technology stacks. The packages may be in the form of declarative code for configuring the technology stacks and can be plugged into the technology stacks to allow the technology stack to play the packages, thereby automating the processes encoded by the packages. The technology stacks have components that are declaratively configurable such that they can provide their functionality autonomously and yet can also, as a unit, in performing their respective functions, cooperatively perform the processes encoded by the packages.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2006Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ashvinkumar J.
