Publication number: 20240045764Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to automated operations management. In various embodiments, a computer system accesses operational information that defines commands for an operational scenario and accesses blueprints that describe operational entities in a target computer environment related to the operational scenario. The computer system implements the operational scenario for the target computer environment. The implementing may include executing a hierarchy of controller modules that include an orchestrator controller module at top level of the hierarchy that is executable to carry out the commands by issuing instructions to controller modules at a next level. The controller modules may be executable to manage the operational entities according to the blueprints to complete the operational scenario.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventor: Mark F. Wilding

Patent number: 11698898Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to lock wait tracing. A computer system may operate a database that includes a lockable object. The computer may maintain a lock wait queue that stores an indication of processes waiting to acquire a lock on the lockable object. The computer system may store trace records for those processes that, upon releasing a respective lock on the lockable object when another process is waiting in the lock wait queue, have been in contention for the respective lock for over a threshold amount of time. The computer system may present ones of the trace records that identify a timeline that is usable to determine a set of processes that contributed to a delay in a process acquiring a lock on the lockable object.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2020Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Piyush Kumar Jain Mahendra Kumar, Mark F. Wilding, James E. Mace, Thomas Fanghaenel

Publication number: 20230004432Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to monitoring behavior of a computing system shared by multiple tenants. In some embodiments, a computer cluster is maintained that hosts containers accessible to a plurality of tenants of the computer cluster. First telemetry data collected about a particular one of the plurality of tenants is received from a container hosted at a first of a plurality of servers of the computer cluster. The first telemetry data identifies the particular tenant's consumption of a resource provided by the container. In response to the computer cluster migrating the container from the first server to a second of the plurality of servers, second telemetry data collected about the particular tenant's consumption of the resource is received from the migrated container hosted at the second server. An analysis is performed of the first and second telemetry data to identify whether the particular tenant's consumption of the resource has changed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2021Publication date: January 5, 2023Inventor: Mark F.
