  • Publication number: 20240113949
    Abstract: A monitoring system for mapping and monitoring inter-application communications in a computing ecosystem is described. The monitoring system provides consolidated visibility to computing ecosystems by providing end-to-end mapping and monitoring of inter-application communications and events, changes, incidents, and status information of applications, services, and systems. As described, the monitoring system is configured to (a) identify communication paths linking the host devices, (b) generate an ecosystem map based on the communication paths, (c) transmit a monitoring signal to the network, (d) receive a monitoring response from the host devices in response to the monitoring signal including at least a first status, (e) process the monitoring response with the ecosystem map to generate an active ecosystem map, and (f) display the active ecosystem map including the host devices and at least one status associated with the host devices.

  • Patent number: 11940894
    Abstract: A computer system includes processor hardware configured to execute instructions from memory hardware. The instructions include training first and second machine learning models with the measured historical performance metrics to generate a component health status output and a component health score output, respectively, and generating a plurality of elements for display in a multi-level application monitoring interface. The measured historical performance metrics include at least one of a component response time, a component volume, a component memory utilization, and a component processor utilization.

  • Patent number: 11775376
    Abstract: A method is provided for diagnosing probable root causes of anomalies in computing environments. The method is performed by an anomaly analytics server in networked communication with hosts. The method includes (a) receiving a topology map; (b) receiving event data associated with each host; (c) receiving an anomaly baseline defining thresholds for identifying an anomalous status in each host application; (d) analyzing the event data and the anomaly baseline to determine a host anomaly status for each host; (e) analyzing the host anomaly status and the topology map to determine a tier anomaly status for each of the host tiers; (f) identifying at least one host tier as a root cause host tier by processing the tier anomaly statuses and the set of tier dependencies; and (g) generating an alert identifying each root cause host tier as a probable root cause of an anomaly.
