  • Patent number: 9772934
    Abstract: Discussed herein are embodiments of methods and systems which allow engineers or administrators to create modular plugins which represent the logic for various fault detection tests that can be performed on data pipelines and shared among different software deployments. In some cases, the modular plugins each define a particular test to be executed against data received from the pipeline in addition to one or more configuration points. The configuration points represent configurable arguments, such as variables and/or functions, referenced by the instructions which implement the tests and that can be set according to the specific operation environment of the monitored pipeline.

  • Patent number: 9767172
    Abstract: An interactive user interface for displaying projects comprising a collection of links specifying data to be displayed from a plurality of different applications and/or data sources. When loading a project for display, links are automatically parsed to identify the application and/or data source they are associated with. Retrieved data associated with the links is displayed in a format based upon that of their native application. The data may be displayed in an interactive format, allowing the user to change or manipulate the data in a manner that would be possible in the data's native application. A project may be expressed as a “project link,” comprising a text string, wherein the links of the assets associated with the project are included or embedded within the text string, and which may be shared between different users, and may function as a snapshot of the project.

  • Patent number: 9753935
    Abstract: A database system is described that includes components for storing time-series data and executing custom, user-defined computational expressions in substantially real-time such that the results can be provided to a user device for display in an interactive user interface. For example, the database system may process stored time-series data in response to requests from a user device. The request may include a start time, an end time, a period, and/or a computational expression. The database system may retrieve the time-series data identified by the computational expression and, for each period, perform the arithmetic operation(s) identified by the computational expression on data values corresponding to times within the start time and the end time. Once all new data values have been generated, the database system may transmit the new data values to the user device for display in the interactive user interface.

  • Patent number: 9715526
    Abstract: A fair scheduling system with methodology for fairly scheduling queries for execution by a database management system. The system obtains query jobs for execution by the database management system and cost estimates to execute the query jobs. The cost estimate can be a number of results the query is expected to return. Based on the cost estimates, the system causes the database management system to execute the query jobs as separately sub-query tasks in a round-robin fashion. By doing so, the execution latency of “low cost” query jobs that return few results is reduced when the query jobs are concurrently executed with “high cost” query jobs that return a large number of results.
