  • Patent number: 11934359
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product is provided for computer log management. In one embodiment, in response to receiving a log request from a user, an input content is analyzed and adjusted according to input contents and user's previous activities. A similarity analysis and a fairness analysis is performed to determine similarities between the input content, as adjusted, and a plurality of log records in an object library. The similarity analysis includes analyzing any patterns and attributes. The attributes have a dimension, and each dimension has a predefined weight (W). The fairness analysis ensures that one type of log is not favored over others. A best possible match is then determined, and one or more logs are presented to the user providing the best possible match.

  • Patent number: 11914594
    Abstract: A disclosed database system and enhanced methods implement enhanced mini-plans and dynamically changing a query mini-plan with trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve query execution performance in a database system. An AI cost model evaluates candidate mini-plans for executing a query. AI truth monitors evaluate the execution of the mini-plans, such as predicted input factors and adjusted mini-plans of one or more AI running data models. The AI truth monitors provide feedback to adjust the AI cost model based on evaluating the execution of the mini-plans. The AI truth monitors validate adjusted mini-plans, provide feedback to the AI cost model with improved overall prediction accuracy, and enhanced mini-plans to gain query performance.

  • Publication number: 20240045878
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for building and using a sparse Time Series Database (TSDB). Time series records are received from a native TSDB, where each of the time series records includes a timestamp and one or more tags. Timeslots are determined for shards for the sparse TSDB based on the timestamp included in each of the time series records. The sparse TSDB is built by creating the shards for the determined timeslots and storing the time series records in the shards, while filling in empty ranges in the shards. A query that specifies at least one of the one or more tags is received. It is determined whether to execute the query against the sparse TSDB, and, in response to a determination to execute the query against the sparse TSDB, the query is executed against the sparse TSDB to generate results that are returned.
