  • Publication number: 20240340216
    Abstract: An event-based analytics tool can obtain, from a data lake, an instance of correlated event data including a first event from a first network device a second event from a second network device, and data correlating the first event to the second event. The event-based analytics tool can obtain PCAP data from a troubleshooting server via a first application programming interface. The event-based analytics tool can also obtain a log from a searchable log database via a second application programming interface. Based on the correlated event data, the packet capture data, and the log, the event-based analytics tool can generate a prediction model that can be used to predict a cause of a future event.

  • Publication number: 20240088693
    Abstract: The media playback system comprises a first playback device with an energy storage having a maximum storage capacity. The media playback system sets a target charge level for the first energy storage to a first maximum charge threshold, wherein the first charge threshold is less than the maximum storage capacity (e.g., 20% of the maximum storage capacity). In response to identifying an event associated with a user, the media playback system adjusts the target charge level for the first energy storage to a second maximum charge threshold, wherein the second charge threshold is based on a duration of the first event. Subsequently, the media playback system receives power from a first power source to charge the first energy storage to the second maximum charge threshold. After the first event ends, the media playback system adjusts the target charge level for the first energy storage to the first maximum charge threshold.

  • Publication number: 20220255895
    Abstract: Determining a resolved domain name service (DNS) response based on one or more resolutions for a received access point name (APN) DNS query is disclosed. A resolved DNS response can be based on real-time analysis of a first query and/or on historical resolution of a second query that is sufficiently similar to the first query. In an aspect, training queries can be employed to populate a data store with preferred DNS responses correlated to the training queries and associated network conditions. The data store can then be employed to evaluate a received query, and where sufficiently similar to a training query, corresponding resolution from the training query can be provided as a resolution for the received query. Moreover, as stored query information is determined to become stale, refreshment techniques are disclosed. Additionally, training queries can comprise anticipated queries and historical queries.
