Patent number: 9075902Abstract: Tracking errors in a computing system that includes a plurality of current error buckets and a plurality of historical error buckets, including: inserting, by an error repository manager into a current error bucket, error information describing a first error identified by a timestamp; moving, by the error repository manager, the error information in the current error bucket to a historical error bucket upon the expiration of the bucket interval, wherein each historical error bucket has a storage interval determined in dependence upon the base time interval associated with the error and a bucket number associated with the historical error bucket; and moving, by the error repository manager, the error information in a source historical error bucket to a destination historical error bucket upon the expiration of the storage interval associated with the source historical error bucket.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Joshua Lukas, Gary R. Ricard

Patent number: 8966067Abstract: A database performance monitor monitors performance of a distributed database, identifies a database performance issue for the distributed database, determines from a distributed virtual network mechanism which physical networks are related to the database performance issue, determines a potential solution to the database performance issue that changes configuration of the distributed database, and applies the potential solution by automatically changing configuration of the distributed database without intervention of a user to address the database performance issue.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2012Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: Lenovo Enterprise Solutions (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Joshua Lukas, Gary R. Ricard, Timothy L. Thompson

Patent number: 8640239Abstract: A network intrusion detection system (NIDS) works in conjunction with a distributed virtual switch fabric to provide enhanced network intrusion detection in a way that does not require as much human intervention, autonomically adjusts to hardware changes in the network, and responds much more quickly than known network intrusion detection systems. The NIDS accesses network information from the distributed virtual switch fabric, which gives the NIDS access to a virtual view that includes hardware information for all networking devices in the network. This allows the NIDS to automatically determine network topology, update itself as hardware in the network is added or changed, and promptly take automated service actions in response to detected network intrusions. The result is a NIDS that is easier to configure, maintain, and use, and that provides enhanced network security.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2012Date of Patent: January 28, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Joshua Lukas, Gary R.
