  • Patent number: 11036715
    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are described herein that enable detecting anomalies in time series. An anomaly detection technique is selected from a plurality of detection techniques, and is applied to a first time-series data set (having a first set of dimensions). In response to detecting an anomaly in the time-series data set, the anomaly detection technique is applied to a second time-series data set that is a subset of the first time-series data set. The first time-series data set includes the first set of dimensions plus one or more additional dimensions.

  • Patent number: 10474521
    Abstract: A system includes: at least one processor running instances of two or more services. Instances of a first service are dependent upon instances of a second service. A fault-injection manager, based on data in a service directory indicative of dependencies of services of the system, determines a fault-inducing condition to inject into the system and injects the fault-inducing condition into the system. A health monitoring manager detects failures in the system and identifies the first service as vulnerable to the fault-inducing condition when the fault-inducing condition causes an instance of the second service to fail.

  • Patent number: 10467126
    Abstract: A system determines a topology of a distributed system and determines, based on the topology, one or more injection points in the distributed system to inject failure scenarios. Each failure scenario including one or more faults and parameters for each of the faults. The system prioritizes the failure scenarios and injects a failure scenario from the prioritized failure scenarios into the distributed system via the one or more injection points. The system determines whether the injected failure scenario causes a response of the distributed system to fall below a predetermined level. The system determines resiliency of the distributed system to one or more faults in the injected failure scenario based on whether the injected failure scenario causes the response of the distributed system to fall below the predetermined level.

  • Patent number: 10387231
    Abstract: A method and system for assessing resiliency of a system is provided. A fault injection system may, for each of a plurality of dimensions of a fault profile, access an indication of possible values for the dimension, which may be specified by a user. The fault injection system may, for each of a plurality of fault profiles, automatically create the fault profile by, for each of the plurality of dimensions, selecting by the computing system a possible value for that dimension. For at least some of the fault profiles, the fault injection system injects a fault based on the fault profile into the system and determines whether a failure was detected while the fault was injected.

  • Patent number: 9747153
    Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein are directed to creating a service directory of dependencies for services running on a system, wherein instances of a first service are dependent upon instances of a second service. The directory of dependencies comprises metadata associated with connections between the services. The system injects faults targeting all levels of the dependencies. The system is monitored to detect failures created by the faults. The injected faults are selected from transport layer faults, memory pressure, processor pressure, storage pressure, virtual machine restart, and virtual machine shut down. A domain name service is monitored to identify names that are resolved for the services. The service directory is then updated continuously with additional dependencies using information about the resolved names. The faults may be injected in a guided manner, wherein the scope of the faults is increased in steps over time to identify a failure point in the system.
