  • Patent number: 8352637
    Abstract: Techniques are described for resolving network connectivity. According to an exemplary embodiment, a determination is made whether a first device is included in a portion of a network in which the first device can receive information directed to all devices included within the portion of the network. A first identifier associated with the portion of the network is obtained. A second identifier is assigned to the portion of the network unique to other portions of the network. The first identifier associated with the portion of the network is modified to include the second identifier. The modified first identifier is associated with the first device and the portion of the network. A first symbol identifying the first device can be presented as being connected to a second symbol identifying the portion of the network using the modified first identifier.

  • Patent number: 6182022
    Abstract: A system and method for automatically constructing a baseline for an attribute of a monitored system, calculating a threshold based on the constructed baseline, and feeding the threshold back into the monitored system is presented. In accordance with the invention, a metric corresponding to an attribute of interest of a monitored system is extracted and compared with a current normal threshold associated with the attribute. An event notification is generated if the extracted metric is not within a limit defined by the current normal threshold. A baseline is calculated based on a relevant subset of extracted metrics, from which a new current normal threshold is calculated. The current normal threshold is reconfigured with the new current normal threshold. In preferred embodiments, an alarm is generated if one or more event notifications meet the conditions of pre-specified rules.
