  • Patent number: 11960374
    Abstract: A system is provided for managing a managed infrastructure that has physical hardware components. A signalizer engine is coupled to the managed infrastructure. The signalizer engine includes a central processor and a main memory. In response to input from the managed infrastructure, the central processor and the main memory use graph coordinates to determine hop proximity of a source of an event. Clusters of events are then produced relating to one or more failures or errors in the physical elements of the managed infrastructure. Each event being is converted to words to group the events into the clusters that relate to a failure or an actionable problem in the physical hardware components to produce an output. A compare and merge engine is coupled to the signalizer engine to receive the output. In response to the output, the system executes physical corrections to the physical hardware of the managed infrastructure.

  • Patent number: 11960601
    Abstract: A system for managing an infrastructure includes extraction engine is in communication with a managed infrastructure that includes physical hardware. A signalizer engine includes one or more of an NMF engine (Non-negative matrix factorization), a k-means clustering engine (a method of vector quantization), and a topology proximity engine. The signalizer engine determines one or more common characteristics of events and produces clusters of events relating to the failure or errors in the infrastructure. The signalizer engine uses graph coordinates and optionally a subset of attributes assigned to each event to generate one or more clusters to bring together events whose characteristics are similar. One or more interactive displays provide a collaborative interface coupled to the extraction and the signalizer engine with a collaborative interface (UI) for decomposing events from the infrastructure.

  • Patent number: 11362881
    Abstract: A distributed system includes a client system with a plurality of managed devices. At least one agent is in communication with the managed devices. The one agent updates and changes at least one management policy. Anomaly detection is pushed out to the one agent. A dedicated polling server is in communication with the one agent. The one agent communicates over a subscribed bus, and runs on the dedicated polling server. A portal bridge is in communication with the bus and communicates through a client system firewall to a Network System. The portal bridge listens on the bus through a firewall of the client system. The one agent discovers a local environment and retrieves monitored client system parameters.
