  • Patent number: 11914452
    Abstract: A user interface system is provided. At least one engine is provided to receive message data from managed infrastructure that includes managed infrastructure physical hardware that supports the flow and processing of information, determine common characteristics of events and produce clusters of events relating to the failure of errors in the managed infrastructure. Membership in a cluster indicates a common factor of the events that is a failure or an actionable problem in the physical hardware managed infrastructure directed to supporting the flow and processing of information. One or more situations is created that is a collection of one or more events or alerts representative of the actionable problem in the managed infrastructure. A situation room is coupled to or includes a dashboard display computer system and a data system, the display computer system configured to generate a dashboard display configured to display situations from the clustered events.

  • Patent number: 11888709
    Abstract: A user interface system has at least a first engine configured to receive message data from managed infrastructure that includes managed infrastructure physical hardware which supports the flow and processing of information. The at least first engine determines common characteristics of events and produces clusters of events relating to the failure of errors in the managed infrastructure. Membership in a cluster indicates a common factor of the events that is a failure or an actionable problem in the physical hardware managed infrastructure directed to supporting the flow and processing of information. One or more situations are created that is a collection of one or more events or alerts representative of the actionable problem in the managed infrastructure. A display computer system generates a dashboard display that includes situations from clustered messages received from managed infrastructure.

  • Patent number: 11080116
    Abstract: A method is provided for communication with a managed infrastructure. Messages are received at an extraction engine from managed infrastructure that includes managed infrastructure physical hardware that supports the flow and processing of information. Events are produced that relate to the managed infrastructure. The events are converted into words and subsets used to group the events that relate to failures or errors in the managed infrastructure, including the managed infrastructure physical hardware. One or more common characteristics of events are determined. Clusters of events are produced relating to the failure or errors in the managed infrastructure. A source address is used for each event and a graph topology of the managed infrastructure to assign a graph coordinate to the event. Membership in a cluster indicates a common factor of the events that is a failure or an actionable problem in the physical hardware managed infrastructure directed to supporting the flow and processing of information.

  • Patent number: 10884835
    Abstract: A user interface system includes an extraction engine in communication with a managed infrastructure. The extraction engine in operation receives messages from the managed infrastructure and produces events that relate to the managed infrastructure and converts the events into words and subsets used to group the events into clusters that relate to failures or errors in the managed infrastructure includes managed infrastructure physical hardware. The managed infrastructure supports the flow and processing of information. A sigalizer engine includes one or more of an NMF engine, a k-means clustering engine and a topology proximity engine. The sigalizer engine determines one or more common steps from events and produces clusters relating to events. The sigalizer engine determines one or more common characteristics of events and produces clusters of events relating to the failure or errors in the managed infrastructure.

At least a first engine one engine receives message data from managed infrastructure that includes managed infrastructure physical hardware that supports the flow and processing of information. The at least first engine one engine determines common characteristics of events, and produces clusters of events relating to the failure of errors in the managed infrastructure. A second engine uses a source address for each of an event and a graph topology of the managed infrastructure that represents a node to node connectivity and a graph coordinate for each of an event, with an optional subset of attributes extracted for each of an event. The second engine provides a list of connections between components or nodes in the managed infrastructure. A display computer system has a collaborative interface (UI) accessible by at least two parties for situations relative to clustered messages relating to the managed infrastructure.
