Patent number: 11134094Abstract: A metric value is determined for each event in a set of events that characterizes a computational communication or object. For example, a metric value could include a length of a URL or agent string in the event. A subset criterion is generated, such that metric values within the subset are relatively separated from a population's center (e.g., within a distribution tail). Application of the criterion to metric values produces a subset. A representation of the subset is presented in an interactive dashboard. The representation can include unique values in the subset and counts of corresponding event occurrences. Clients can select particular elements in the representation to cause more detail to be presented with respect to individual events corresponding to specific values in the subset. Thus, clients can use their knowledge system operations and observance of value frequencies and underlying events to identify anomalous metric values and potential security threats.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2020Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: SPLUNK INC.Inventors: Munawar Monzy Merza, John Coates, James M Hansen, Lucas Murphey, David Hazekamp, Michael Kinsley, Alexander Raitz

Patent number: 5798601Abstract: A piezoelectric ignition kit which includes a piezoelectric ignitor having a distal electrode connected thereto via an insulated conductive lead, and connectors for removably engaging the piezoelectric ignitor and its distal electrode to a gas appliance such as a lantern, heater, or stove. One connector removably engages the piezoelectric ignitor housing to an exterior frame portion of a gas appliance; such a connector has two ends, with each end removably engaged to either the piezoelectric ignitor housing or to the exterior frame portion. The other connector removably engages the distal electrode housing to an interior frame portion of the gas appliance near the burner of the gas appliance; such a connector has two ends, with each end removably engaged to either the distal electrode housing or to the interior frame portion near the burner.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 1996Date of Patent: August 25, 1998Inventor: James M.
