  • Patent number: 8713154
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for monitoring information passed from instances of role(s) of a service application installed on a distributed computing platform and for indexing and analyzing the information within a data store are provided. Monitoring involves a monitoring agent that is integrated within an operating system of computing devices that make up the distributed computing platform. In operation, the monitoring agent retrieves information from the role instances and converts the information into parameters that are assembled to documents. Generally, the parameters are assembled to a uniform-structured format in accordance with a schema imposed by the distributed computing platform. Accordingly, each of the documents across the platform have a common format that promotes processing and analysis without a need for reconfiguration.

  • Patent number: 5790778
    Abstract: A computer program error detection system that detects errors in a computer program by simulating execution of program statements. An internal format structure is retrieved along with a list of all functions defined by the computer program. The internal format structure is analyzed to determine all function calls and the function call ordering. External behavior models corresponding to the discovered function calls are retrieved and stored in a model table. One or more control flow paths are traversed through the computer program. For each path traversed, a structural memory model is maintained to represent the effect of the simulated execution of statements along the control flow path. A statement is simulated by executing a built in model of the operation. A function call is emulated by executing an external behavior model corresponding to the called function. Execution of an external behavior model causes the structural model memory to be updated to reflect execution of the called function.
