  • Patent number: 10454753
    Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to organizing network performance metrics into historical anomaly dependency data. In particular, it relates to calculating cascading failure relationships between correlated anomalies detected in a network. It also relates to illustrating to a network administrator causes of system failure by laying out the graph to show a progression over time of the cascading failures and identify root causes of the cascading failures. It also relates to ranking anomalies and anomaly clusters in the network based on attributes of the resources exhibiting anomalous performances and attributes of the anomalous performances. It further relates to depicting evolution of resource failures across a network by visually coding impacted resources and adjusting the visual coding over time and allowing replay over time to visualize propagation of anomalous performances among the impacted resource.

  • Patent number: 10365915
    Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to maintaining up to date software version data in a network. In particular, it relates to accessing a network topology that records node data and connection data including processes running on numerous hosts grouped into local services on the hosts, the local services running on multiple hosts grouped into service clusters and sub-clusters of service clusters, and network connections used by the service clusters to connect the hosts grouped into service connections. It further relates to collecting current software version information for the processes, updating the network topology with the current software version for particular process running on a particular host when it differs from a stored software version in the network topology, reassigning the particular host to a sub-cluster within the service cluster according to the current software version, and monitoring the updated sub-cluster within the service cluster.

  • Publication number: 20190018667
    Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to sub-clustering within service clusters in real-time. In particular, it relates to accessing a network topology that records node data and connection data including processes running on numerous hosts grouped into local services on the hosts, the local services running on multiple hosts grouped into service clusters and sub-clusters of service clusters, and network connections used by the service clusters to connect the hosts grouped into service connections, wherein the node data includes software versions of the processes and process data with configuration files and clustering the multiple hosts with the service clusters into the sub-clusters based at least in part on the software versions.
