Patent number: 12271287Abstract: Techniques for selecting a runbook to recommend for remediating a detected event are disclosed. When a system detects an event, the system obtains metadata associated with the event. The metadata provides information about the event and a system topology of the system in which the event occurred. The system generates a recommendation for a runbook to remediate the event based on one or both of characteristics of the event and characteristics of the topology in which the event occurred. The system compares a system topology to system topologies associated with previously-executed runbooks. The system recommends one of the previously-executed runbooks to remediate a detected event based on determining that the topology associated with the previously-executed runbook is similar to the topology of the system in which the event occurred.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2022Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Raghu Hanumanth Reddy Patti, Christopher A. Roy, Ana Maria Hernandez McCollum, Manas Goswami, Janet Kay Kolko, Sreenivas Reddy

Publication number: 20230255389Abstract: A liquid heating appliance including a reservoir including a first and second chambers and a heating arrangement is provided. A mode valve is arranged to selectively allow liquid to flow between the first and second chambers. The appliance operates in a first mode in which the mode valve is closed and only liquid in the first chamber is heated and a second mode in which the mode valve is open and liquid in the first and second chambers is heated. A dispense outlet is moveable between a dispensing position and a non-dispensing position. The dispense outlet is mechanically coupled to the mode valve such that when the dispense outlet is moved into the dispense position, the mechanical coupling closes the mode valve and when the dispense outlet is moved into the non-dispensing position, the mechanical coupling opens the valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2021Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: Colin Peter Moughton, Stephen John Donlon, Christopher Kay, Jacob Alexander John Hewins
