Publication number: 20210135956Abstract: The present disclosure facilitates improving the operation of a cloud service by updating its configuration information and its resource requirements. The resource utilization of the cloud service can be monitored, and a decision logic module can determine whether action is required. When action is required, an update can be prepared and applied, and notifications can be generated about the condition and its resolution. Resolutions can require correlation of multiple cloud services to provide real-time access to information that is not otherwise available to a single entity. Resolutions can be learned and predicted in a number of ways using a predictive engine.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2020Publication date: May 6, 2021Applicant: c/o ConnectWise, LLCInventors: Craig M.

Publication number: 20200382389Abstract: The present disclosure relates to managing resource utilization in cloud service infrastructure. A device can monitor the cloud service. The cloud service can be configured with an automatic scaling function based on a threshold. The device can determine, based on the monitoring, that a utilization value of the cloud service during a time interval exceeds the threshold. The device can generate, using a policy based on the utilization value and the threshold, an instruction to disable the automatic scaling function of the cloud service by the one or more servers. The device can transmit the instruction to the one or more servers via a second cloud application programming interface. The device can generate, responsive to the policy, a service ticket data structure with an indication of the utilization value and the time interval. The device can provide the service ticket data structure to an electronic board.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2020Publication date: December 3, 2020Applicant: c/o ConnectWise, LLCInventors: Arnold Bellini, III, Jagannathan Shiva Shankar, Topher Barrow, Craig M.

Patent number: 10803138Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of managing remote devices. The system can include a server with memory, a detection module, and a collection module. The memory can store a management information base (MIB) having a hierarchical tree of object identifiers and corresponding object values. The detection module can query devices and receive a first object identifier and its first object value, which can vary from those in the MIB; and use patterns to match the first object identifier and object value; and generate an identification of the device from the matches. The collection module can use the identification to select a collection template, which can indicate a subtree of the MIB and a collection pattern; traverse the subtree and identify a second object identifier that matches the collection pattern, and its second object value; and associate the second object value with the first object value.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2018Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: Connectwise, LLCInventors: Scott Logan, Kevin Davis

Publication number: 20200322355Abstract: Systems and methods of managing fraudulent devices are provided. The system detects a request for a connection to communicatively couple a technician computing device with a receiver computing device. The system identifies connection data for the connection. The system requests, based on the connection data, a plurality of account values. Each of the plurality of account values is associated with an account that the technician computing device used to establish the connection. The system generates a score indicating a fraudulent level of the account based on the plurality of account values. The system terminates, responsive to a comparison of the score with a fraud threshold, the connection. The system transmits, to a ticketing system, a support ticket generated responsive to the comparison of the score with the fraud threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2019Publication date: October 8, 2020Applicant: Connectwise, LLCInventors: Jacob Morgan, Benjamin Burner
