Patent number: 9710353Abstract: Techniques that improve manageability of systems. Techniques are provided for creating different types of baselines that are more flexible and dynamic in nature. A future-based baseline may be created defining a period of time, wherein at least a portion of the period of time is in the future. A baseline may be created that is a composite of multiple baselines. In general, baselines may be specified having one or more periods of time that are either contiguous or non-contiguous. A template for creating a set of baselines based on a set of time periods may also be created, where the template can be used to create a baseline for each of the set of time periods. A moving window baseline may be created having an associated time window that changes with passage of time, where accordingly the data associated with the baseline may also dynamically change with passage of time.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2015Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Michael Feng, Mark Ramacher, Gary Ngai, Graham Wood, John Beresniewicz

Patent number: 8095514Abstract: Particular embodiments generally relate to displaying database time using a treemap. A set of database time values is determined for a set of dimensions. The database time values measure performance of one or more databases by the time the database takes to respond to a request. The set of database time values is correlated to a set of cells in the treemap. A size of the cell is determined based on the database time value associated with it. For example, the database time value is correlated to an area of the cell. A layout of the set of cells is determined and the treemap is displayed using the layout. For example, the largest values of database time may be shown with the largest sized cells. This makes it easier for an administrator to review and analyze the database performance across multiple dimensions and determine problem areas affecting the performance of the one or more databases.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2009Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: John Beresniewicz, Jonathan Helfman, Hsiao-Te Su, Nancy Chen, Karl Dias, Graham Wood

Patent number: 7937623Abstract: A diagnosability system for automatically collecting, storing, communicating, and analyzing diagnostic data for one or more monitored systems. The diagnosability system comprises several components configured for the collection, storage, communication, and analysis of diagnostic data for a condition detected in monitored system. The diagnosability system enables targeted dumping of diagnostic data so that only diagnostic data that is relevant for diagnosing the condition detected in the monitored system is collected and stored. This in turn enables first failure analysis thereby reducing the time needed to resolve the condition detected in the monitored system.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2008Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Mark Ramacher, Gary Ngai, Benoit Dageville, Karl Dias, Yair Sarig, Marcus Fallen, Ajith Kumar Mysorenagarajarao, John Beresniewicz, Mike Feng, Jonathan Klein, Hailing Yu, Leng Tan, Balasubrahmanya Kuchibhotla, Uri Shaft, Venkateshwaran Venkataramani, Amir Valiani

Publication number: 20070005297Abstract: A computer is programmed to fit exponential models to upper percentile subsets of observed measurements for performance metrics collected as attributes of a computer system. The subsets are defined from sets chosen to reduce model bias due to expected variations in system performance, e.g. those resulting from temporal usage patterns induced by end users and/or workload scheduling. Measurement levels corresponding to high cumulative probability, indicative of likely performance anomalies, are extrapolated from the fitted models generated from measurements of lower cumulative probability. These levels are used to establish and to automatically set warning and alert thresholds which signal to (human) administrators when performance anomalies are observed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2005Publication date: January 4, 2007Applicant: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: John Beresniewicz, Amir Najmi

Publication number: 20070005296Abstract: A computer derives, from a current measurement of an attribute of a system, an instantaneous severity score based on a probability model that is determined from prior measurements. The computer then displays, for several successive moments in time, either the instantaneous severity score or an aggregated severity score obtained from a set of instantaneous severity scores (e.g. by averaging). Each set of scores to be aggregated may be identified by, e.g., a fixed-width time window located at a fixed offset from a moment in time at which the aggregated score is to be displayed. Aggregation suppresses or dampens momentary abnormalities, which would otherwise get displayed. In some embodiments, graphs for multiple categories of metrics are displayed on a single screen, aligned in time, to enable a human operator to form a visual correlation therebetween, e.g. to identify causes of atypical performance in the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2005Publication date: January 4, 2007Applicant: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: John Beresniewicz, Amir Najmi, Jonathan Soule

Publication number: 20060059205Abstract: A method and apparatus for diagnosing database performance problems using a plurality of wait classes is provided. A set of statistical data that describes current activity within a database system is periodically retrieved. The set of statistical data may include information about the current activity of each user session connected to the database system. Thereafter, a set of cumulative statistical data that describes activity in the database system over a period of time is updated to reflect the retrieved set of statistical data. The set of cumulative statistical data includes statistics associated with each of a plurality of wait classes. A graphical user interface that displays the set of cumulative statistical data may be presented to a user. The graphical user interface allows the user to quickly ascertain the nature of the database performance problems by providing a view of the set of cumulative statistical data.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2004Publication date: March 16, 2006Inventors: Vipul Shah, John Beresniewicz, Nauman Chaudhry, Kyle Hailey, Hui Lin, Hsiao-te Su
