ADAPTIVE OBSERVABILITY MODULE RECONFIGURATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17987329 titled 'ADAPTIVE OBSERVABILITY MODULE RECONFIGURATION
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for a system that generates an observability module configuration plan based on interaction profiling data and deployment state data of a software application. The system then adjusts this configuration plan using infrastructure state estimation data to account for node failures within the infrastructure, resulting in a reconfiguration plan that activates observability modules to monitor specific events.
- Explanation of the patent/innovation:
- Utilizes interaction profiling and deployment state data to generate an observability module configuration plan. - Adjusts the configuration plan using infrastructure state estimation data to accommodate node failures. - Activates observability modules to monitor specific events based on the adjusted reconfiguration plan.
Potential applications of this technology: - Monitoring and troubleshooting software applications in real-time. - Optimizing system performance and reliability by proactively addressing infrastructure issues.
Problems solved by this technology: - Enhancing observability and diagnosability of software applications. - Improving system resilience by detecting and responding to infrastructure failures promptly.
Benefits of this technology: - Increased system reliability and availability. - Reduced downtime and improved overall performance of software applications.
Potential commercial applications of this technology: - Cloud service providers for monitoring and managing their infrastructure. - Software development companies for optimizing application performance and user experience.
Possible prior art: - Existing observability tools and systems used for monitoring software applications. - Infrastructure management solutions that address node failures and system performance issues.
Unanswered questions: 1. How does the system prioritize which observability modules to activate based on the adjusted reconfiguration plan? 2. What specific types of infrastructure state estimation data are used to adjust the observability module configuration plan?
Original Abstract Submitted
Using interaction profiling data and deployment state data of a software application, an observability module configuration plan is generated, the configuration plan comprising an event to be observed and an observability parameter. Using infrastructure state estimation data of the infrastructure on which the software application is executing, the observability module configuration plan is adjusted, the adjusting resulting in an adjusted reconfiguration plan, the adjusted reconfiguration plan comprising a second event to be observed, the second event associated with a node failure within the infrastructure. A set of observability modules is reconfigured according to the adjusted reconfiguration plan, the reconfiguring comprising causing an observability module in the set of observability modules to be activated to monitor the event.
