  • Publication number: 20240119071
    Abstract: Techniques and solutions are provided for searching for documents upstream, downstream, or both upstream and downstream of a given document, and providing information about relationships between documents in the results. To help users understand relationships between documents, different “voices” can be used in a result display, such as an “active voice” being used for an upstream search and a “passive voice” being used for a downstream search. If desired, results can be limited or filtered, such as limiting a search to a particular relationship type or types, or providing a limit to an amount of indirection between documents. Disclosed techniques can provide more useful information about a document flow, and can reduce computing resources used in generating such displays.

  • Patent number: 11954122
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a solution is used to provide container volume replication via a container storage replication log and volume buffer synchronization, which is built on top of a container cloud platform whose container metadata and replication runtime configuration are all managed by a storage manager (a service orchestrated by its job scheduler and service orchestrator). This container volume replication ensures the data security for a long-running service in the container. In the case of any disaster, the in-memory database and application data inside of the container can be recovered via volume replication. This provides container volume replication for long-running containerized applications whose states keep changing.

  • Patent number: 11954606
    Abstract: Automated event monitoring is performed utilizing a Knowledge Graph (KG) constructed by grouping and consolidation of a variety of log Entry Types. A log entry is received by a knowledge graph parser (Kg parser). That parser finds contiguous sub-strings in a log entry that have a parameterized basic-format. The parser figures out which basic-formats are present, where, and with which parameters. Given a sub-string, its basic-format and its parameters, the parser can correctly parse the sub-string to components (e.g., keys and values if a key-value format; fields if a structured format). A result of the parsing is an entity type tree structure. Next, a grouping and consolidation capability functions to modify the KG to incorporate an incoming new entry type structure. The KG may be consumed by a user (e.g., visualization; querying), and may provide an artifact to an event monitoring system to automatically trigger certain actions (e.g., alerts).

  • Patent number: 11949648
    Abstract: Connectivity between remote networks is managed by a central engine that collects and stores network data such as network addresses, URLs, hostnames, and/or other information. The engine creates a tunnel proxy, as well as separate respective tunnels with the remote networks. Based upon network data, the engine references the tunnel proxy to create a logical link joining the respective tunnels. Data can then flow between the remote networks through the logical link. The logical link may exist for only a limited time, e.g., as determined by a timer. Certain embodiments may be particularly suited to empower a customer network to manage connectivity with the remote network of a support provider. The customer can initiate connectivity changes without the manual involvement of the support provider. The customer can also authorize the support provider to manage connectivity and initiate changes under prescribed conditions.
