Patent number: 11836127Abstract: Embodiments provide unique identification of telemetry reports generated by components of an IHS (Information Handling System) that supports a plurality of metric data sources. A source of metric data is detected, where the source may be a fixed or replaceable IHS component. The metric source is identified within a device descriptor table maintained by a remote access controller of the IHS. Based on a unique user-friendly label that is associated with the metric data source in the device descriptor table, the metric source is configured to generate metric reports. The generated metric reports are received and the label provided by the metric source is used to store data from the metric reports in a database row using the label as a unique database key. The user-friendly label can be used to perform efficient database queries without using a separate database column for storing a user-friendly description of the metric source.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Cyril Jose, Jon Robert Hass, Michael Emery Brown, Choudary Maddukuri, Sankara Rao Gara, Mahesh Babu Ramaiah, Sankunny Jayaprasad

Patent number: 11659695Abstract: Telemetry system metric data that is collected within a data center may be collectively analyzed in order to identify zones within the data center that exhibit deviations in reported metric data. The analyzed metric data is collected from IHSs (Information Handling Systems), such as servers, operating in the data center. The metric data reported by the respective IHSs identifies the location the IHS within the data center. The collected metric data is analyzed to identify metrics that are correlated with locations within the data center. Within the identified metric data that is correlated with data center locations, a zone of the data center is identified that includes a subset of IHSs that have reported anomalous metric data relative to the metric data reported by neighboring IHSs. For instance, such a zone may be an aisle of the data center, one or more racks, and/or rows of servers spanning multiple racks.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2020Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Dell Products, L.P.Inventors: Cyril Jose, Sankunny Jayaprasad, Jon Robert Hass, Sankara Rao Gara, Sailaja Mahendrakar

Patent number: 11640377Abstract: Systems and methods utilize telemetry data to provide administrators with metric information related to a detected IHS (Information Handling System) event, such as an error condition, where the provided metric information is particularized to the context of the event. A remote access controller (RAC) of the IHS stores metric reports received from metric sources. The RAC receives an indication of the event that specifies a first IHS component as a source of the event and specifies a time associated with the event. The RAC identifies stored metric reports generated by the first component prior to the first time and identifies stored metric reports generated by components that are logically and/o physically related to the first component. The RAC generates an event report that includes the metric reports generated by the first component prior to the first time and the metric reports generated by components related to the first component.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2020Date of Patent: May 2, 2023Assignee: Dell Products, L.P.Inventors: Cyril Jose, Choudary Maddukuri, Sankara Rao Gara, Sankunny Jayaprasad, Sailaja Mahendrakar
