    Abstract: The discussion relates to middlebox reliability. One example can apply event filters to a dataset of middlebox error reports to separate redundant middlebox error reports from a remainder of the middlebox error reports of the dataset. The example can categorize the remainder of the middlebox error reports of the dataset by middlebox device type. The example can also generate a graphical user interface that conveys past reliability and predicted future reliability for an individual model of an individual middlebox device type.

  • Publication number: 20110239056
    Abstract: Described is a technology by which a server in a server rack is illuminated to indicate its state with respect to an operating mode (e.g., a power mode, a environmental mode, or a performance mode). Data is collected for a server via sensors, power meters and/or the server. Depending on a user-selected operating mode, the server is illuminated at its physical location to indicate its data state based upon the data collected. The mode and collected data result in an illumination of the physical server location that varies by color, intensity and/or flash pattern to indicate the current (or a prior historical) state.

  • Publication number: 20100313254
    Abstract: A transceiving adapter for wireless network includes a transmitting and receiving module, a microprocessor module, an alarm module, and an input/output module. The transmitting and receiving module is to receive network signals from network and output the network signals to the microprocessor module, and receive an output signal from a computer via the microprocessor module and send the output signal to an access point. When the network signals are unstable, the microprocessor module outputs an alarm signal. When the network signals are stable, the microprocessor module outputs a control signal. The alarm module receives the alarm signal from the microprocessor module and outputs an alarming sound according to the alarm signal. The input/output module receives the control signal from the microprocessor and outputs the network signals to the computer according to the control signal.

  • Publication number: 20090217105
    Abstract: A debug device of embedded systems is provided. The embedded system includes an embedded processor for reading a bootloader from a flash memory through a data flash interface. The debug device includes a memory transmission interface, a dada storage module, a data control module and a display module. The memory transmission interface is configured to couple the data flash interface for receiving data to the data storage module. The data control module determines whether the data stored in the data storage module is data from a data bus or from the data flash interface according to whether a data control signal of the data flash interface has been triggered. The display module displays the data of the data storage module.

  • Patent number: 7557728
    Abstract: A system for monitoring the performance of an application comprises a computer system having one or more speakers and means for running an application, the computer system being configured to perform the steps of determining an output of an application that requires monitoring, assigning an audible sound to the output, running the application and allowing the application to reach a state of equilibrium, determining a baseline for the output when the application is in the state of equilibrium, monitoring the output to detect a change relative to the baseline, emitting the audible sound assigned to the output through at least one of the one or more speakers when the detected change varies from the baseline by a predetermined amount, and adjusting configurable parameters of the audible sound to indicate the existence of the detected change, the magnitude of the detected change relative to the baseline, and the degree of deviation from the baseline.

  • Publication number: 20080162985
    Abstract: A method in a data processing system for monitoring for errors on a network. Responsive to detecting a change in a state of the network, determine whether the change in state is a loss of a communications link to a remote data processing system. If the change in state is a loss of the communications link, determine whether the communications link was established for at least a first period of time to be considered an acceptable connection to the remote data processing system; and create a new serviceable event, if a second period of time passes without reestablishing the communications link to the selected data processing system. Repeat occurrences of identical outages are tracked and multiple detected instances of an outage for different partitions are counted as a single failure in the examples.
