Abstract: A system for monitoring the health of a building management system (BMS). The system includes a communication network and a number of intelligent devices. The intelligent devices configured to communicate with each other via the communication network. Each of the intelligent devices are configured to transmit a health message to another individual intelligent device of the intelligent devices during a first messaging cycle. The first intelligent device receives a health message from at least one of the intelligent devices. The first intelligent device updates an existing health message stored in the memory of the first intelligent device based on the received health message. The first device transmits the updated health message to one of the other intelligent devices during a subsequent messaging cycle.

Abstract: A building system for identity management of a building, the building system including one or more storage devices configured to store instructions thereon, that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive a request to determine whether an entity has a privilege and determine whether the entity has the privilege by querying, based on the request, a graph database to identity information of the graph database that indicates whether the entity has the privilege, wherein the graph database stores nodes representing at least one of users, equipment, events, or spaces of the building, wherein the graph database stores edges between the nodes representing relationships between the users, equipment, events, or spaces. The instructions cause the one or more processors to generate a response including a determination whether the entity has the privilege.
