Abstract:
A computer implemented method for network monitoring includes providing network packet event characterization and analysis for network monitoring that includes supporting summarization and characterization of network packet traces collected across multiple processing elements of different types in a virtual network, including a trace slicing to organize individual packet events into path-based trace slices, a trace characterization to extract at least 2 types of feature matrix describing those trace slices, and a trace analysis to cluster, rank and query packet traces based on metrics of the feature matrix.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for detecting error in a cloud infrastructure by running a plurality of training tasks on the cloud infrastructure and generating training execution logs; generating a model miner with the training execution logs to represent one or more correct task executions in the cloud infrastructure; after training, running a plurality of tasks on the cloud infrastructure and capturing live execution logs; and from the live execution logs, if a current task deviates from the correct task execution, indicating an execution error for correction in real-time.

Methods and systems for profiling requests include generating request units based on collected kernel events that include complete request units and half-open request units. The generated request units are sequenced based on a causality relationship set that describes causality relationships between kernel events.

Abstract:
A system and method for profiling a request in a service system with kernel events including a pre-processing module configured to obtain kernel event traces from the service system and determine starting and ending communication pairs of a request path for a request. A learning module is configured to learn pairwise relationships between the starting and ending communication pairs of training traces of sequential requests. A generation module is configured to generate communication paths for the request path from the starting and ending communication pairs of testing traces of concurrent requests using a heuristic procedure that is guided by the learned pairwise relationships and generate the request path for the request from the communication paths. The system and method precisely determine request paths for applications in a distributed system from kernel event traces even when there are numerous concurrent requests.

Abstract:
The invention efficiently provides user code information for kernel level tracing approaches. It applies an advanced variation of stack walking called multi-mode stack walking to the entire system level and generates the unified trace where the user code and kernel events are integrated. The invention uses runtime stack information and internal kernel data structures. Therefore, source code for user level code and libraries are not required for inspection. The invention introduces the mechanism to narrow down the monitoring focus to specific application software and improve monitoring performance.
