Various examples are described for defining automations for client devices enrolled with a management service. A computing environment can cause one or more user interfaces to be shown in a display of an administrator device that include at least one field for generating an automation that includes a trigger, a condition, and an action to automatically be performed when the condition is satisfied. The trigger defines a time at which the management service compares the condition to device profiles generated for client devices enrolled with the management service. The user interface can forecast a number of client devices that will be affected or subject to an automation, and can display results of the automation as it is executed in real time.

Previewing impacted entities in automated device definitions

Various examples are described for enrollment data visualization using enhanced graphical user interface elements. In one example, a management service can receive device data from devices enrolled with the management service, where the management service is configured to remotely oversee operation of the devices. The management service can determine operational metrics using the device data describing operation of the client devices and generate a metric visualization region for display in a user interface. In some examples, the metric visualization region can include a graph plotting the operational metrics over a predefined period of time and a circle having a predefined width circumscribing the graph, where at least a portion of the circle is filled based on the operational metrics.

Enrollment data visualization using enhanced graphical user interface elements

Various examples are described for defining automations for client devices enrolled with a management service. A computing environment can cause one or more user interfaces to be shown in a display of an administrator device that include at least one field for receiving a conditional statement to generate an automation associated with client devices enrolled with the management service. The computing environment can validate the conditional statement based on validation criteria and, in an instance in which the conditional statement has been validated, generate the automation based on the conditional statement, the automation causing the computing environment to perform a predetermined action automatically when the conditional statement is satisfied.

Defining automations for enrolled user devices

Various examples are described for defining automations for client devices enrolled with a management service. A computing environment can cause one or more user interfaces to be shown in a display of an administrator device that include at least one field for receiving a conditional statement to generate an automation associated with client devices enrolled with the management service. The computing environment can validate the conditional statement based on validation criteria and, in an instance in which the conditional statement has been validated, execute a query to determine a number of the client devices affected by the conditional statement. As a result of the query, the computing environment can display information associated with a number of the client devices affected by the conditional statement.

A method and system for determining potential deadlock conditions in a target multi-threaded software application. The target application is first run in a virtual machine and the events within the application are recorded. The recorded events are replayed and analyzed to identify potential lock acquisition conflicts occurring between threads of the application. The potential lock acquisition conflicts are identified by analyzing the order in which resource locks are obtained and pairs of resources that have respective locks obtained in different orders are analyzed. These analyzed pairs are used to define a different order of events in the target application that, when the target application is re-run with the second order of events, may trigger a deadlock condition. The target application is then re-run with the different order of events in an attempt to trigger and then identify potential deadlock situations.
