Abstract: Methods and systems for managing data processing systems are disclosed. A data processing system may include hardware and/or software components. The operation of the data processing system may depend on the operation of these components. To manage the operation of the data processing system, a system may include a data processing system manager. The data processing system manager may obtain logs for components of the data processing system reflecting the historical operation of these components and use the log to predict the future operation of the data processing system, identify similar operation of other data processing systems, and/or for other purposes. Based on the predictions, the data processing system manager may take action to reduce the likelihood of the data processing system becoming impaired.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing data processing systems based on indications of anomalous behaviors in logs are disclosed. A data processing system may include and depend on the operation of hardware and/or software components. To manage the operation of the data processing system, a data processing system manager may obtain logs for components of the data processing system that reflect the historical and/or current operation of these components. The logs may be used to identify the operational state of the data processing system, improving the context of the log information. Based on the identified state, inference models may be implemented to predict future infrastructure issues by detecting anomalous behaviors of the data processing system (e.g., behaviors that are unusual for the given state) recorded in the logs. Based on the predictions, the data processing system manager may take action to reduce the likelihood of the data processing system becoming impaired.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing deployments are disclosed. A deployment may include one or more devices. The devices may include hardware and/or software components. The operation of the deployment may depend on the operation of these devices and components. To manage the operation of the deployment, a system may include a deployment manager. The deployment manager may obtain logs for components of the deployment reflecting the historical operation of these components and use the log to predict the future operation of the deployment. Based on the predictions, the deployment manager may take proactive action to reduce the likelihood of the deployment becoming impaired.

To manage the operation of the data processing system, a system may include a data processing system manager. The data processing system manager may obtain logs for components of the data processing system reflecting the historical operation of these components and use the log to predict the future operation of the data processing system, actions that may be performed to address predicted undesirable operation of the data processing system, and/or for other purposes. Based on the predictions, the data processing system manager may take action to reduce the likelihood of the data processing system operating in an undesirable manner.

Abstract: Presented are scalable systems and methods for dynamically and incrementally updating a file system to patch firmware in an embedded device deployed in the field. In various embodiments, advantageously, the update and release process of, e.g., Linux-based firmware may be accomplished by using a simplified patching process that updates the firmware without having to update or replace the entire file system. As a result, a patch, e.g., security fix to existing firmware in the field, can be provided to customers relatively quickly, e.g., prior to a full firmware release that incorporates the fix is made available later on, thereby, eliminating traditional, full-image upgrades that are subject to time consuming release cycles, space constraints, and other limitations.
