  • Patent number: 10545999
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for generating an enhanced index for documents contained in a knowledge base. Documents or configuration snapshots are tokenized and then passed through a number of filters. The filters modify the token stream to generate an enhanced token stream for the document by removing words from the stream and adding domain level knowledge to the tokens in the stream. The token stream is then added to the index for the document so that searches can be completed against the knowledge base when searches are generated from configuration snapshots or from inputted search queries.

  • Patent number: 9779141
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for searching or processing queries for searching for documents contained in a domain specific knowledge base. The system takes a query and generates from the query a modified version of the query by passing the query through one or more filters in a query processor. The query processor adds or removes terms from the query. The query processor can add or recognize that two words that appear to be separate words actually identify a specific software entity or can determine that a number appearing in a query is not just a number but refers to a specific version or a number relevant to the specific problem.

  • Patent number: 9613134
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for taking a snapshot or input from a source and identifying appropriate documents in a knowledge base that are applicable to the input. The system identifies documents that are applicable to the query by identifying comparative features/statements found in the natural language text documents and evaluating those comparative features with the conditions of the input. When the conditions of the comparative features evaluate with the input conditions the document is considered a match. The system processes the documents through a value type filter to understand the mathematical equivalent of the comparative feature and uses this mathematical equivalent in the evaluation of the document and input.

  • Patent number: 7650403
    Abstract: The performance of client server interactions is measured by the interacting client. The client-generated performance data is efficiently transmitted to one or more servers by incorporating the performance data regarding one or more previous request/response cycles into a subsequent request. Performance data transmission is made more efficient by transmitting performance data context such as client, server and session details once per connection. Performance data is stored on the client until transmitted or until it has aged beyond a server specified maximum age. Performance data is aggregated on the server in memory resident accumulators. The server may have a set of accumulators for each server its clients communicate with as well as a set for each client. An accumulator value crossing a configurable threshold may trigger an event log entry. The number of performance data events in an event class may be limited to a maximum for a time period.
