  • Patent number: 11228485
    Abstract: The present technology provides a system and method for automating on-boarding and management of IoT devices on data network. The disclosed technology further provides an interactive representation of various performance attribute with automatically generated actionable alert based on operator defined rules and performance-specific threshold values. Furthermore, disclosed technology provides for single-click activation of suggested actions at scale directed at once to all device units within one or more device groups reported in critical state. In this way the proposed technology enables rapid restoration of a network state. Offending device(s) may then be easily identified, from device units within the device category isolated in a resolution space, and managed according to one or more device-specific actionable alerts automatically generated on the offending device.

  • Patent number: 11102236
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for identification and remediation of IoT devices exhibiting anomalous behaviors. An IoT management system can identify IoT devices requiring remediation. The IoT management system may present a first interface including representations of the devices requiring remediation, where each representation can include identifying information for an IoT device, policies applied to the IoT device, and bandwidth/throughput information of the IoT device. The IoT management system can present a second remediation interface representing a detailed representation of a first IoT device. The detailed representation can include user interface elements representing actions to be performed relating to the first IoT device. The IoT management system can perform a first action corresponding to a selection of one of the user interface elements.

  • Publication number: 20200177485
    Abstract: An IoT management system can determine historical traffic volumes of a plurality of IoT devices over one or more time intervals. The IoT management system can determine historical temporal traffic metrics of the IoT devices over the time intervals. The IoT management system can determine standard deviation information for at least one of the historical traffic volumes or the historical temporal traffic metrics over the time intervals. The IoT management system can determine current traffic volumes of the IoT devices. The IoT management system can determine current temporal traffic volumes of the IoT devices. The IoT management system can present an interface including first information indicative of the current traffic volumes, second information indicative of the current temporal traffic metrics, and third information indicative of at least one of the current traffic volumes or the current temporal traffic metrics relative to the standard deviation information.

  • Patent number: 9940214
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a plurality of measurements, each measurement associated with a different parameter, calculating an index based on the measurements, and generating a visual index display indicating the index, the visual index display comprising a first portion and a second portion, each portion configured for selection by a user. A first set of measurements is displayed when the first portion is selected and a second set of measurements is displayed when the second portion is selected. The first set of measurements is a subset of the second set of measurements. An apparatus and logic are also disclosed herein.
