  • Patent number: 11853367
    Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling analysts and other users of an IT operations platform to identify certain data objects managed by the platform (for example, events, files, notes, actions results, etc.) as “evidence” when such data objects are believed to be of particular significance to an investigation or other matter. For example, an event generated based on data ingested from an anti-virus service and representing a security-related incident might include artifacts indicating an asset identifier, a hash value of a suspected malicious file, a file path on the infected endpoint, and so forth. An analyst can use various interfaces and interface elements of an IT operations platform to indicate which of such events and/or artifacts, if any, represent evidence in the context of the investigation that the analyst is conducting. In response, the IT operations platform can perform various automated actions.

  • Patent number: 11847100
    Abstract: Methods and systems implement local file systems of computing nodes which translate random-access read and random-access write operation calls to append-based operation calls in accordance with a distributed file system (“DFS”) implemented across storage nodes of a cloud network. Computer-executable applications running on the computing nodes may generate kernel-level read and write system calls by application programming interfaces (“APIs”) such as the Portable Operating System Interface (“POSIX”) standard, to a local file system. The local file system may translate these read and write system calls to file operations at a DFS implementing an append-only file system, as well as perform storage reclamation upon the DFS periodically and/or upon storage thresholds being exceeded.

  • Patent number: 11822560
    Abstract: Users are most likely to search for documents “around” them, such as documents which are created, read, or modified by other users they work closely or collaborate with, documents on sites the user frequents, and/or documents trending around them, in addition to documents they've created or interacted with themselves. Therefore, embodiments are directed to relevance ranking of query results based on external context. A search service may receive a query and an external context list, determine a relevance value for each entry in the external context list, and perform the query, where a search index comprising items may be returned in response to performance of the query. The search service may then match entries in the external context list against associated properties of the items, compute a score for the items based on the matching, and rank results of the query based on the score computed for the items.

  • Patent number: 11816073
    Abstract: Database commands may be asynchronously forwarded between nodes of a database system. A read-only node may receive a request, such as a read request or write request, and determine that the request should be forwarded to a read-only node for performance. A thread that handles the request may forward the request to the read-only node and register a call-back event for a response to the request and be made available to perform other work. When the response from the read-write node is received, the call-back event may be triggered and return a response to the request using the same or different thread.

  • Patent number: 11816092
    Abstract: A system and a method for grouping log lines in application log file is presented. The system uses logging framework code instrumentation in order to obtain a relation between the actual log line and the place in source code from which a method responsible for writing the line has been called. As the all information on the relation is stored in external metadata files, the structure of the log files remains unchanged. Using the above mentioned metadata and a raw log file, each log line in the file can be assigned to a group related to the place in source code from which the line has been logged, by the system. Next such a grouped log file can be displayed to the user in order to simplify the analysis of the application behavior.

  • Patent number: 11816147
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed towards providing contextual tags for an image based on a contextual analysis of associated images captured in the same environment as the image. To determine contextual tags, content tags can be determined for images. The determined content tags can be associated with categories based on a contextual classification of the content tags. These associated content tags can then be designated as contextual tags for a respective category. To associate these contextual tags with the images, the images can be iterated through based on how the images relate to the contextual tags. For instance, when an image is associated with a category, the contextual tags classified into that category can be assigned to that image.
