  • Patent number: 10089167
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and computer program product for log file reduction according to problem space topology. A method for log file reduction according to problem space topology can include receiving a fault report for a fault in a solution executing in memory of one or more computers of a computer data processing system. The method further can include extracting references to at least two resources of the computer data processing system from the fault report. The method yet further can include filtering a set of all log files for the computer data processing system to only a subset of log files related to the at least two resources. Finally, the method can include displaying the subset of log files in a log file analyzer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8887176
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for a network management system notification shortcut. Also provides are techniques controlling an event notification shortcut in a network management system. The network management system comprising: a probe for intercepting a system event from a monitored system and creating an event item or modifying an event item associated with the system event; a collection database server for collecting a new event item or modification to an existing event item and forwarding a event notification to a second database server; a second database server for receiving the event notification, requesting the event item data or modification data and forwarding the event item to a first client; a first client for receiving the event notification and requesting the event item data or modification data; whereby the collection database server sends the event notification directly to the first client bypassing the second database server if the event satisfies a priority condition.

  • Patent number: 8176160
    Abstract: This invention relates to a network management system accelerated event channel. This invention also relates to a method and computer program product for controlling an accelerated event channel in a network management system. The network management system comprising: a probe for intercepting a system event from a monitored system and creating an event item or modifying an event item associated with the system event; a collection database server collecting, in database of event items, a new event item or modification to an existing event item; a client; a notifying means for notifying a client of the new event item or event item modification; a channel table for storing an association between a channel and a client id; and wherein the probe associates the event item with a channel and the notifying means uses the channel table to find the client association.
