  • Patent number: 11675851
    Abstract: Generating persistent multifaceted statistical distributions of event data associated with computing nodes is disclosed. From a data stream, events are identified that occur during a first time interval. Characteristics associated with the events are determined. Based on a primary characteristic, it is determined that an event corresponds to an event cluster. The event count for that cluster is incremented. It is determined that the characteristics correspond to an event descriptor of events in the cluster. Responsive to requests to view the event cluster, information about descriptors from the cluster are displayed indicating events having a particular event descriptor, or a summary of characteristics that distinguish the descriptor from other event descriptors.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9722900
    Abstract: Provided are methods and computer program products for analyzing and tracing the contents of network traffic in a network device and to help identify network performance issues. Methods for analyzing traffic include identifying thread identifiers associated with transactions, determining related events, and associating similar transactions and events into an aggregated list of transactions. Methods of tracing transactions include identifying thread identifiers associated with transactions and related events and serializing events into a serialized list of events to facilitate tracing single transactions.

  • Patent number: 9154397
    Abstract: Provided are methods and computer program products for analyzing transactions across a network and to help identify network performance issues. Methods for analyzing traffic include identifying an outbound transaction and a related transaction type, and identifying candidate inbound transactions that have the same transaction type as the transaction type of the outbound transaction. One or more transaction data parameters may be selected that correspond to the outbound or inbound transactions. Candidate transactions may be determined to be related to the outbound transaction based on one or more transaction data parameters.
