  • Patent number: 11934461
    Abstract: A method uses natural language for visual analysis of a dataset. A data visualization application displays a data visualization, at a computer, based on a dataset retrieved from a database using a set of one or more queries. A user specifies a natural language command related to the displayed data visualization, and the computer extracts an analytic phrase from the natural language command. The computer computes semantic relatedness between the analytic phrase and numeric data fields in the dataset. The computer identifies numeric data fields having highest semantic relatedness to the analytic phrase, and also selects a relevant numerical function. The numerical function compares data values in the numeric data fields to a threshold value. The computer retrieves an updated dataset that filters the identified numeric data fields according to the numeric function. The computer then displays an updated data visualization using the updated dataset.

  • Patent number: 11934347
    Abstract: The technology described herein efficiently determines whether a real inode is shared among views, or owned. In-memory data structures include a view snapshot generation counter that is increased as a snapshot that generates a view is created, and an inode total weight. An in-memory virtual inode cache dataset for a filesystem object associated with the view is instantiated with the value of snapshot generation counter, sharing-related data based on the inode mapping file entry for the object, and an inode access weight. To determine whether the inode is shared (and needs to be split), such as on a write to the object, the in-memory data is evaluated. The real inode is shared if the generation counters are unequal, if the sharing-related data indicates sharing at an intermediate indirect block level, or indicates sharing at the inode level and the inode access weight is less than the inode total weight.

  • Patent number: 11805146
    Abstract: A modified configuration management database (CMDB) system is disclosed in which detected configuration item (CI) vulnerabilities are stored as less-resource-intensive detection objects, rather than as more-resource-intensive vulnerable item (VI) objects. The system includes a vulnerability response (VR) server that enables promotion rules to be created and periodically applied to the stored detections. When the conditions of a detection promotion rule are satisfied by information relating to a stored detection, a new VI may be created and related to the stored detection within the CMDB. The disclosed promotion rules can be configured to ensure that VIs are only automatically created for high-risk or relevant detections, substantially reducing the number of VIs to be created, stored, and managed. As such, the disclosed system substantially reduces resource consumption and improves the efficiency and operation of the CMDB.

  • Patent number: 11797501
    Abstract: Methods and systems described herein are directed to aggregating and querying log messages. Methods and systems determine event types of log message generated by event sources of the distributed computing system. The event types are aggregated into aggregated records for a shortest time unit and event types are aggregated into aggregated records for longer time units based on the aggregated records associated with the shortest time unit. In response to a query regarding occurrences of an event type in a query time interval, the query time interval is split into subintervals with time lengths that range from the shortest time unit to a longest time unit that lie within the query time interval. The method determines a total event count of occurrences of the event type in the query time interval based on the aggregated records with time stamps in the subintervals. The event count in the query time interval may be used to detect abnormal behavior of the event sources.
