  • Patent number: 10637737
    Abstract: Provided is a process including: receiving, with one or more processors, an alarm of a monitoring application that is monitoring a distributed application; determining, with one or more processors, a type of the identified computational entity among a plurality of different types of computational entities, wherein at least some of the different types take longer to provision than other types among the plurality of different types; classifying, with one or more processors, the alarm based on the type of the identified computational entity that emitted the alarm or a metric or event upon which the alarm is based; and based on the classification of the alarm, adjusting, with one or more processors, a configuration of the monitoring application or a logical-architecture or network-architecture topology of the distributed application.

  • Patent number: 10521324
    Abstract: Provided is a process including: receiving a given alarm from a given instance of a given service executing on a given computing device, wherein: the given service is one of a plurality of different services that form at least part of a given distributed application, and the distributed application is executing on a plurality of different computing devices including the given computing device; accessing contextual data, the contextual data including metrics or events received from other instances of the given service or other services of the given distributed application; determining an alarm score for the given alarm based on the contextual data, the alarm score being indicative of a marginal effect of the given alarm on performance of the given distributed application; and storing the alarm score in memory in association with the given alarm.

  • Patent number: 8079380
    Abstract: An ice house including a collapsible frame assembly. The collapsible frame assembly includes at least one first pole with a connecting end having a plunger assembly. At least one second pole has a hollow end sized to telescopically engage with the plunger assembly and the first pole. The second pole has at least one detent proximate a connecting end sized to releasably engage with a plunger on the plunger assembly. An actuator assembly includes a first end secured to the connecting end of the second pole and a second end adapted to telescopically receive the plunger assembly and the first pole. The actuator assembly includes an actuator located over the detent and configured to flex between a relaxed position and a depressed position that disengages the plunger from the detent. A seat assembly is secured to the frame assembly and a cover having at least one door is attached to the frame assembly.
