MESSAGE PARSING TO DETERMINE CROSS-APPLICATION DEPENDENCIES AMONG ACTIONS FROM DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17869295 titled 'MESSAGE PARSING TO DETERMINE CROSS-APPLICATION DEPENDENCIES AMONG ACTIONS FROM DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an apparatus that can obtain messages associated with actions taken in applications running on information technology assets and create message records. These message records identify the actions taken in the applications, the entities for which the actions were performed, and the topics associated with the messages. The apparatus can also determine cross-application dependencies by correlating entities and topics across the message records, characterizing relationships between actions taken in different applications. Based on these cross-application dependencies, the apparatus can control the performance of subsequent actions in the applications.
- The apparatus obtains messages and creates message records associated with actions in applications running on information technology assets.
- Message records identify actions, entities, and topics associated with the messages.
- The apparatus determines cross-application dependencies by correlating entities and topics across message records.
- Cross-application dependencies characterize relationships between actions in different applications.
- The apparatus controls the performance of subsequent actions in the applications based on the determined cross-application dependencies.
Potential applications of this technology:
- IT infrastructure monitoring and management
- Application performance optimization
- Troubleshooting and debugging of applications
Problems solved by this technology:
- Identifying and understanding dependencies between actions in different applications
- Improving coordination and efficiency of actions in a complex IT infrastructure
- Enhancing the performance and reliability of applications
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved visibility and understanding of application actions and dependencies
- Enhanced control and optimization of application performance
- Increased efficiency and reliability of IT infrastructure operations
Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus comprises a processing device configured to obtain messages associated with actions taken in applications running on at least one information technology asset in an information technology infrastructure, and to parse the messages to create message records, a given message record associated with a given message identifying actions taken in a given one of the applications, entities for which the actions in the given application were performed, and topics that the given message is associated with. The processing device is also configured to determine cross-application dependencies between the actions based at least in part on correlating entities and topics across the message records, a given cross-application dependency characterizing a relationship between first and second actions taken in first and second ones of the applications. The processing device is further configured to control performance of subsequent actions in the applications based at least in part on the determined cross-application dependencies.
