Methods, systems, and computer readable mediums for performing a free-form query are disclosed. According to one exemplary embodiment, a method for performing a free-form query includes receiving free-form information for requesting information about a computing system, converting the free-form information into at least one compatible query for querying at least one data set, querying, using the at least one compatible query, the at least one data set for the information about the computing system, and providing the information about the computing system.

A log management system includes a computing system that executes a set of instructions to receive one or more search terms from a database, and identify one or more element records that match the search terms. The element records are associated with the elements of a distributed computing environment. For each matched element record, the instructions obtain any of multiple log messages associated with the matched element record from a log message database, and facilitates the display of the one or more identified element records and their associated log messages on a display.

Methods, systems, and computer readable mediums for command engine execution are disclosed. One method for command engine execution includes receiving free-form information for requesting or modifying information about a computing system. The method also includes identifying a portion in the free-form information that is unsupported by a command engine. The method further includes converting, using a grammar module that supports the portion, the free-form information into at least one compatible command for interacting with at least one data set. The method also includes requesting or modifying the information about the computing system by interacting with the at least one data set using the at least one compatible command.

A distributed computing environment data store management system includes a computer-based system for identifying a subset of element records in a data store associated with the elements of a distributed computing environment, receiving at least one user-defined data element from a user interface. Using the user-defined data element, the system adds the user-defined data element to each of the subset of element records, and stores each of the subset of element records and their associated user-defined data in the database.

One method includes receiving aggregated free-form query information comprising a first section and a second section for requesting data pertaining to a computing system and converting the first section and the second section of the aggregated free-form query information into an original query portion and a contingency query portion for accessing at least one data set. The method further includes accessing, using the original query portion, the at least one data set to obtain result information pertaining to an initial element included in the computing system. The method also includes accessing, using the contingency query portion and the result information returned in response to the original query portion, the at least one data set to obtain information for at least one descendant element or ancestor element related to the initial element included in the result information.

A graph database management system includes a computing system in communication with a distributed computing environment comprising a plurality of elements and a database that stores element records associated with corresponding elements of the distributed computing environment. The computing system generates a graph database having a plurality of vertices representing the element records of the distributed computing environment and at least one edge representing a specified relationship between at least one pair of the element records. Thereafter, the computing system may receive a request to view the vertices associated with the at least one pair of element records and their associated edge, and facilitate the display of the vertices and their associated edge on a display in response to the request.

An aggregated performance reporting system includes a computing system in communication with a database that stores element records associated with the elements of a distributed computing environment. The computing system stores instructions that are executed to receive a search term from a user interface, and identify a count of each element type that matches the search term. The instructions then identify one or more aggregated performance indicators that are associated with each element type, issue a request to the database to retrieve those element records having the identified element types, calculate the aggregated performance indicators using parametric information included in the retrieved element records, and facilitate the display of the calculated aggregated performance indicators on a display.

A data center information retrieval system includes a computer-executed device information retrieval application in communication with first and second devices configured in a data center. Each device includes one or more elements that provide a service for the data center. The application obtains and stores one or more first element records associated with one or more of the elements of the first device in a database, and communicates with a modular software component to obtain information associated with the corresponding one or more second elements of the second device, the modular software component translating information obtained about the second elements to a format similar to that of the first element records.

Methods, systems, and computer readable mediums for performing metadata-driven data collection are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a method for performing metadata-driven data collection includes receiving a request for system related data, wherein the request includes metadata indicating a protocol and identifying information for obtaining the system related data. The method also includes configuring, using the metadata, at least one data collector for obtaining the system related data. The method further includes obtaining, by the at least one data collector, the system related data and storing the system related data in a memory.

A messaging system and method for creating a messaging hierarchy in a computer network are described. The network is made up of multiple network entities, which include both publishing entities and subscribing entities, where the publishing entities have data of which the subscribing entities may have need. The messaging system and method for creating a messaging hierarchy also include a data hierarchy applied to the data exchanged between the publishing entities and subscribing entities. The data hierarchy determines the virtual connections formed between the network entities in response to publication and subscription requests exchanged between the entities, such that the virtual connections established between network entities form a hierarchy corresponding to the data hierarchy.

A system and method for subscriber tracking and creating subscriber records in a GPRS network is disclosed. First subscriber records are created using information from first data packets captured from a first GPRS network interface. The first subscriber record is compared with information in second data packets captured from a second GPRS network interface. If the second data packets are associated with the first subscriber record, then information from the second data packets is added to the first subscriber record. If the second data packets are not associated with the first subscriber record, then a second subscriber record is created using information in the second data packets.

System and method for correlation of mobile subscriber activity across multiple interfaces in a GPRS network

A system and method for subscriber tracking and creating subscriber records in a GPRS or UMTS network is disclosed. A local mapping record is created on a probe monitoring a Gi interface upon the detection of Access Start messages. Additional information is sent from a probe monitoring a Gn/Gp interface, and this information is added to the local mapping record. The processing of captured messages and the creation of local mapping record is prioritized to ensure that records for different subscribers who used the same IP address are not improperly combined. Finally, Gi traffic is tagged with unique subscriber information, such as the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI), not previously present on the Gi network.
