Patent number: 11573878Abstract: A method and apparatus of monitoring computer devices operating on a network is disclosed. Computer devices are all different and require monitoring settings that are tailored to their specific requirements. One example of the present invention may include a method of monitoring at least one computer device operating on a network. The method may include receiving audit information representing attributes of the computer device and storing the audit information in memory. The method may also include comparing the audit information to a predefined monitor set of objects to be monitored. The method may further include creating a new monitor set based on the comparison of the audit information and the predefined monitor set. The new monitor set is different from the predefined monitor set and is generally used to monitor objects which are included in the audited device. The method may also include monitoring the at least one computer device based on the new monitor set.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2021Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Mark Thomas Lingen

Patent number: 10721149Abstract: A method and apparatus of monitoring computer devices operating on a network is disclosed. One example method may include discovering and monitoring a plurality of network devices operating on a network. The method may include scanning the network to discover various network devices and determining a device type of each of the network devices. The method may also include determining attributes corresponding to each of the network devices, monitoring the attributes corresponding to each of the network devices and compiling a list of attribute information based on the monitoring operation and storing the list of attribute information in a memory. The device discovery and monitoring may be performed autonomously without user intervention allowing computer devices to be discovered and monitored as they are added to the network.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2019Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: OPEN INVENTION NETWORK LLCInventor: Mark Thomas Lingen

Patent number: 10673683Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed of providing a user application with a notification message. One example method may include receiving a script to setup a message queue, the script may include a database schema and the script may be executed by a processor to apply the database schema to a database that includes the message queue. The method may also include receiving one or more notifications messages having specific notification content that is applied to notification messages. The notifications may be received from a remote device. The message queue may include notification content used to generate notification messages destined for end user devices.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2017Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: KASEYA LIMITEDInventors: Chad Gniffke, Robert Wendell Davis, Mark Thomas Lingen, Ryan Smith, Mark James Sutherland, Scott Robert Powell
