  • Patent number: 8316381
    Abstract: An example of a solution provided here comprises receiving as input at least one event (chosen from an event generated by an application probe, and an event generated by a component probe), and providing graphical output based on the inputs, whereby a user correlates a component problem with a performance problem affecting an application. Methods connected with graphics for end to end component mapping and problem-solving in a network environment, systems for executing such methods, and instructions on a computer-usable medium, for executing such methods, are provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7266733
    Abstract: A method, program and system for application event notification are provided. The invention comprises, responsive to detection of an error within an application, sending error data from the application to an event logger facility, which formats the error data according to requirements of target destinations. The event logger facility send the error data to a support service, which may use the error message as a lookup key into a log file containing application state data.
