  • Patent number: 11372904
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining, in a given log processing node, at least two different types of logs associated with assets of an enterprise system. The method also includes generating, at the given log processing node, frequency scores for terms in unstructured log data of each of the different log types, the generated frequency score for a given term in unstructured log data of a given log type being based on (i) occurrence of the given term in historical logs of the given log type previously processed by log processing nodes and (ii) occurrence of the given term in the obtained logs of the given log type. The method further includes extracting, at the given log processing node, features from the obtained logs based on the frequency scores, detecting events affecting the assets utilizing the extracted features, and modifying a configuration of the assets responsive to detecting the events.

  • Patent number: 11023169
    Abstract: A technique manages data storage equipment. The technique involves receiving queue depth metrics from data storage performance data describing data storage performance of the data storage equipment. The technique further involves performing a performance impact detection operation on the queue depth metrics to determine whether a performance impacting event has occurred on the data storage equipment. The technique further involves, in response to a result of the performance impact detection operation indicating that a performance impacting event has occurred on the data storage equipment, launching a set of performance impact operations to address the performance impacting event that occurred on the data storage equipment. Such a technique may be performed by an electronic apparatus coupled with the data storage equipment (e.g., over a network).
