  • Patent number: 11144381
    Abstract: Method and system are provided for event relationship analysis in fault management. The method includes: providing a history of a plurality of event instances relating to multiple events identified by event identifiers, where an event instance has one or more event occurrences referencing an event identifier, the history including the event occurrences and resolution event information; analyzing the event occurrences relating to each event identifier to identify a first occurrence(s) of an event instance; analyzing the resolution event information relating to each event identifier to identify any event resolution time for an event instance; comparing two event identifiers to obtain a relationship score between the two event identifiers, wherein the comparing is based on a combination of first occurrences of event instances relating to the two event identifiers and resolution times of the event instances; and creating a group of events that are related based on the relationship scores.

  • Patent number: 10685043
    Abstract: A plurality of first event instances of a first event and a plurality of second event instances of a second event are received based on the first event occurring and the second event occurring. Each event instance has an event identifier and a timestamp. A first event type of the plurality of first event instances and a second event type of the plurality of second event instances are identified. A time period of overlap between the first event and the second event are determined by detecting regular intervals between the plurality of first event instances, as compared to each other, and the plurality of second event instances, as compared to each other. A relationship between the first event and the second event are scored based on the time period of overlap. The first event and the second event are grouped based on the scored relationship.

  • Patent number: 10275496
    Abstract: Processing of a set of event log data that includes event records. A search criteria is received from a user, and a subset of the set of event log data that includes event records from the set of event log data that satisfy the search criteria is determined. For each event record in the subset of event log data, a similarity score for the event record is determined, where the similarity score is indicative of the similarity of the event record to the other event records in the subset of event log data. The subset of event log data is updated by adding to each event record its similarity score, and the updated subset of event log data is then returned to the user.

  • Patent number: 10241853
    Abstract: An event management method of attributing a seasonal fault to maintenance activity is described. The method includes identifying a sequence of fault events as a seasonal fault, and calculating an initial seasonality metric indicating a degree of seasonality of the sequence of fault events. One or more maintenance windows are identified, and then a subset of the sequence of the fault events which correspond in time with the maintenance windows are identified. A compensated seasonality metric is calculated for the sequence of fault events minus at least some of the subset of fault events. Based on determining that the compensated seasonality metric indicates a reduction in seasonality compared with the initial seasonality metric, an indication that the sequence of fault events is associated with maintenance activities is generated.

  • Patent number: 10230748
    Abstract: Anomaly detection is provided. A first component of a first data resource of a plurality of data resources is identified. Each data resource of the plurality of data resources includes one or more components. A score of the first component is determined based, at least in part, on underlying data of the first component and underlying data of one or more other components of data resources of the plurality of data resources that correspond to the first component. An interest level of the first data resource is determined. A relationship between the score of the first component and the interest level of the first data resource is modeled.
