  • Sample driven visual programming system for network management
    Patent number: 9438481
    Abstract: Methods and system for sample-driven visual programming system. A Parser Utility and a Trigger Utility are provided. The Parser is defined based on a sample output from a device in real time, and data are parsed into a set of variables. The Trigger Utility visually displays the set of variables and automatically encodes a set of logic loops to analyze the data. A network engineer is therefore liberated from writing scripts for network data analysis. A system is provided to run in debugging mode for visually debugging the automatically generated programs.

  • Computer aided network engineering system, apparatus, and method
    Patent number: 8386593
    Abstract: A computer aided network engineering (CANE) system provides an integrated network management platform that not only decodes a user's network but also provides an interactive environment, based on data-driven maps, to allow users to define and automate network tasks. Among other things, the CANE system allows users to drive automation via self-contained interactive model-driven maps (referred to as Q-maps). Some of the tasks that can be automated include, without limitation: a) network diagramming and documentation; b) performance troubleshooting; and c) design analysis.

  • System and method for network management automation
    Patent number: 11736365
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing visual network programming for network management automation. One exemplary method may include providing a GUI for automating network management tasks and receiving a plurality of graphical icons. Each graphical icon may be associated with one or more operations or functions. The method may also include associating the plurality of graphical icons with a device table for defining a device queue by storing information of at least one network device in the computer network and a device data table for storing information to be retrieved from the at least one network device defined in the device queue. The method may also include generating a network application based on the plurality of graphical icons and associated device table and device data table.

  • TRIGGERED AUTOMATION FRAMEWORK
    Publication number: 20230198866
    Abstract: Problem Diagnosis Automation System (PDAS) automates the diagnosis of repetitive problems and the enforcement of preventive measures across a network. Automation assets across the network include Network Intent (NI) inside the no-code platform. A Network Intent Cluster (NIC) clones a NI across the network to create a group of NIs (member NIs) with the same design or logic. A subset of Member NIs can be executed according to user-defined conditions based on the member device, the member NI tags, or signature variables. A Triggered Automation Framework (TAF) matches the incoming API calls from a 3rd party system to current incidents and installs the automation (e.g., NI/NIC) to be triggered for each call. It may include: Integrated IT System defining the scope and data of the incoming API calls; Incident Type to match a call to an Incident; and Triggered Diagnosis to define what and how the NIC/NI is executed.
