  • Patent number: 11178029
    Abstract: Methods, systems and articles of manufacture to generate file transfer monitoring criteria are disclosed. An example method obtains a file transfer log file from a first network entity and obtains from the transfer log file, file transfer metadata that is associated with file transfer activity between the first network entity and a second network entity. The file transfer metadata is used to generate a file transfer monitoring criterion that is associated with selectively monitoring the file transfer activity between the first network entity and the second network entity. Service level criteria associated with the file transfer event is automatically updated based on the file transfer monitoring criterion.

  • Patent number: 9691038
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for examining workflow processes can include monitoring system having a definition element that selectively defines one or more workflow process elements of a corresponding workflow, and a monitor element that identifies one or more monitoring parameters for each of the workflow process elements. The system can also include one or more operational aspects of the one or more workflow process elements according to corresponding definitions and monitoring parameters.
