  • Patent number: 11936663
    Abstract: An example method includes detecting, using sensors, packets throughout a datacenter. The sensors can then send packet logs to various collectors which can then identify and summarize data flows in the datacenter. The collectors can then send flow logs to an analytics module which can identify the status of the datacenter and detect an attack.

  • Patent number: 11863921
    Abstract: An application and network analytics platform can capture telemetry from servers and network devices operating within a network. The application and network analytics platform can determine an application dependency map (ADM) for an application executing in the network. Using the ADM, the application and network analytics platform can resolve flows into flowlets of various granularities, and determine baseline metrics for the flowlets. The baseline metrics can include transmission times, processing times, and/or data sizes for the flowlets. The application and network analytics platform can compare new flowlets against the baselines to assess availability, load, latency, and other performance metrics for the application. In some implementations, the application and network analytics platform can automate remediation of unavailability, load, latency, and other application performance issues.

  • Patent number: 11765046
    Abstract: This disclosure provides solutions for automatically grouping network devices (e.g., endpoints) into clusters based on device characteristics. In some aspects, the disclosed technology also provides solutions for generating user selectable queries based on cluster characteristics. A process of the disclosed technology can include steps for identifying one or more device characteristics associated with a first network device, identifying one or more cluster characteristics for each of a first cluster and a second cluster, and comparing the device characteristics associated with the first network device with the one or more cluster characteristics for the first cluster and the second cluster. The process can further include steps for adding the first network device to the first cluster based on the cluster characteristics for the first cluster and the device characteristics for the first network device. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11637762
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically discovering applications/clusters in a network and mapping dependencies between the applications/clusters. A network monitoring system can capture network flow data using sensors executing on physical and/or virtual servers of the network and sensors executing on networking devices connected to the servers. The system can determine a graph including nodes, representing at least the servers, and edges, between pairs of the nodes of the graph indicating the network flow data includes one or more observed flows between pairs of the servers represented by the pairs of the nodes. The system can determine a dependency map, including representations of clusters of the servers and representations of dependencies between the clusters, based on the graph. The system can display a first representation of a first cluster of the dependency map and information indicating a confidence level of identifying the first cluster.

    Abstract: Facilitating of content entity annotation while maintaining joint quality, coverage and/or completeness performance conditions is provided. In one example, a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprises computer-readable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a computing system to perform operations. The operations include aggregating information indicative of initial entities for content and initial scores associated with the initial entities received from one or more content annotation sources and mapping the initial scores to respective values to generate calibrated scores. The operations include applying weights to the calibrated scores to generate weighted scores and combining the weighted scores using a linear aggregation model to generate a final score. The operations include determining whether to annotate the content with at least one of the initial entities based on a comparison of the final score and a defined threshold value.
