  • Patent number: 11714797
    Abstract: A sub-archive is initiated. The sub-archive saves changes that have occurred since a previous final archive. Changes to an operational database (i.e., the operational database that is being archived) are allowed during the first sub-archive.

  • Patent number: 11645293
    Abstract: An example embodiment may involve obtaining training time series data spanning an observation time window and comprising a series of values of a metric at regularly-spaced sample points in time, and analyzing the training time series data to determine one of a periodicity or a pseudo-periodicity across a plurality of consecutive sub-windows, each equal in size to a reference time period and each spanned by the same number N of sample points of metric values. A reference pattern corresponding to a model time series having no anomalies, as well as a reference threshold, may be determined and stored. Runtime time series data may then be obtained and time aligned with the reference pattern. Deviations between the runtime time series and the reference pattern may be identified as anomalies if they exceed the reference threshold. Identified anomalies may be displayed in a display device.

  • Patent number: 11514058
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods relating to context rules in a graph or isolated collection. In an example, information in an isolated collection may be associated with one or more contexts. The information may be represented within the isolated collection based on one or more rules, and one or more of the rules may be associated with one or more contexts to which the information relates, thereby indicating a context association. A context association may indicate a positive, negative, or other relationship between one or more rules and one or more contexts. Based on the context association, information within the isolated collection may be adapted to generate different views of the isolated collection for different contexts. As such, relevant, useful, or actionable information may be included or emphasized, while information that is not as relevant, useful, or actionable may be omitted or deemphasized.
