Abstract: Technologies are disclosed for the automated, rule-based generation of models from arbitrary, semi-structured observation data. Context data of received observation data, like data describing the location of on which a phenomenon was observed, is used to identify related observations, to generate entities in a model describing the observed data and to assign observations to model data. Mapping rules may be used for the on-demand generation of models, and different sets of mapping rules may be used to generate different models out of the same observation data for different purposes. Further, observation time data may be used to observer the temporal evolution of the generated model. Possible use cases of the so generated models include the interpretation of observation data that describes unexpected operation conditions in view of the generated model, or to determine how a monitored system reacts on changing conditions, like increased load.

Abstract: A Configuration Auditor and Configuration Enforcer (CACE) automatically runs audits of cells in a network and finds any discrepancies between the actual and preferred configuration. The CACE has access to lists of parameters and preferred settings for the network operator in which the cell being audited is located and thus knows the preferred settings for the given type of radio being audited and/or use of the radio in terms of the intended coverage area and/or traffic type being communicated. The list of parameters to which the actual radio settings is compared is sometimes referred to as a “golden parameter list”. The detection of radio parameter setting discrepancies, e.g., setting errors, and the correction of the parameter settings is performed automatically with parameter settings being automatically corrected on the fly, e.g., immediately, when possible without disrupting service or during a scheduled service interval if a radio reboot is required.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described relating to aggregating log anomalies. In some examples, a plurality of log anomaly instances may be obtained, from a log anomaly detector, where individual instances are associated with a first log anomaly type and a first anomalous log event. Log anomaly instances associated with the first log anomaly type and the first anomalous log event may be combined into a first log anomaly class. The first log anomaly class may be combined with a second log anomaly class, including log anomaly instances associated with the first anomalous log event and a second log anomaly type, into a log anomaly group, which may correlate the occurrences of the first and second anomaly types to the same first anomalous log event over a period of time. An indication of the log anomaly group may then be output.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, apparatus, and computer program product embodiments for dynamic mitigation of CGN IPv4 address provisioning for network gateways when adverse conditions are in effect. A network gateway may be provisioned with a shared WAN IP address from a pool of IP addresses designated for Carrier Grade Network Address Translation (CGN) and configured to detect the occurrence of an adverse condition for a connection provisioned the shared WAN IP address. Upon detecting an adverse condition, the network gateway may send a request for a new IP address to a DHCP server configured to recognize flags indicating an adverse condition. The DHCP server may then provision the gateway with a new public IP address.
