  • Publication number: 20240089275
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for log anomaly detection. A computer receives a windowed log of incoming raw log messages. A computer compares statistical distribution metrics of entities in the windowed log with a statistical distribution extracted from a real-time statistical model for the entities. In response to the statistical distribution metrics being statistically different from the statistical distribution extracted from the real-time statistical model for the entities, a computer tags the windowed log as an entity anomaly. A computer computes a distance between an average word embedding vector in the windowed log and a statistical distribution extracted form a real-time statistical model for word embeddings. In response to the distance being greater than a predetermined threshold, a computer tags the windowed log as a word embedding anomaly. A computer sends to a user an alert with an anomaly severity level.

    Abstract: Methods are described for dynamically managing device locationing groups. According to some aspects, mobile devices may be tracked on a group basis, e.g., as opposed to being tracking on an individual basis. For example, location information for each of a plurality of mobile devices may be received at a location group server (LGS) and the LGS may determine (e.g., based on the location information) that each of the plurality of devices are in a physical location. One or more location group operations may be triggered by the location group server (e.g., based on determining that each of the plurality of devices are in the physical location) and the LGS may receive a location update from a device of the plurality of mobile devices (e.g., wherein the location update is not received from a remainder of the plurality of mobile devices).
