  • Patent number: 11916764
    Abstract: Disclosed is a technique that can be performed by a server computer system. The technique can include obtaining data from each of multiple endpoint devices to form global data. The global data can be generated by the endpoint devices in accordance with local instructions in each of the endpoint devices. The technique further includes generating global instructions based on the global data and sending the global instructions to a particular endpoint device. The global instructions configure the particular endpoint device to perform a data analytic operation that analyzes events. The events can include raw data generated by a sensor of the particular endpoint device.

  • Patent number: 11836579
    Abstract: Disclosed is a technique that can be performed by an electronic device. The electronic device can generate time-stamped events, extract training data from the time-stamped events, and send the training data over a network to a remote computer. The electronic device can receive model data generated by the remote computer from the training data by use of a machine learning process, update a local model of the electronic device based on the received model data, and generate an output by processing locally sourced data of the electronic device with the updated local model.

  • Patent number: 11703826
    Abstract: An asset monitoring and reporting system (AMRS) implements an interface to establish an asset hierarchy to be monitored and reported against. The interface employs a search query of extant asset data from which definitional aspects of the asset hierarchy can be identified, and therefrom the interface automatically determines control information reflective of the asset hierarchy to direct the ongoing operation of the AMRS. The interface further allows for configuration of a metric definition for a metric of an asset node of the asset hierarchy, the metric representing a point in time or a period of time and derived from a metric-time search of machine data produced by or about the asset node and receives an identification of a metric determination specification for the metric definition, the metric determination specification comprising at least identification of a metric component and identification of a calculation operation to apply to the metric component.
