Exemplary embodiments provide computer-implemented methods, mediums, and apparatuses configured to provide an interactive analytical method debugger for an analytical laboratory system. The analytical laboratory system may include a laboratory analytical device with a number of settings, parameters, etc. The laboratory analytical device may process a sample according to an analytical method that (among other things) defines a configuration for the device. The settings for the method may be organized into categories. The interactive debugger identifies problems with the method (e.g., incompatibilities, values out of range, etc.) and automatically allow the user to view the category of the method that is relevant to addressing the issue. Possible solutions may be proposed in the debugger interface, allowing the user to quickly identify and address the problem. Embodiments are particularly well-suited to situations where a method is ported from an old device to a new device.

A component tracking system includes a plurality of devices that each include a device component monitoring subsystem that monitors for and records the addition and/or removal of device components to/from that device. A device component manager system that is coupled to each of the plurality of devices identifies, via a recording by a first device monitoring subsystem in a first device included in the plurality of devices, the removal of a first device component from the first device. The device component manager system then determines, via a recording by a second device component monitoring subsystem in a second device included in the plurality of devices, that the first device component has been added to the second device within a time period and, in response, the device component manager device prevents a removed first device component alarm.

A state management server applies configuration information to a set of virtual computer system instances in accordance with one or more limitations specified by an administrator. In an embodiment, the limitations include a velocity parameter that limits the number of virtual computer system instances to which the configuration may be applied concurrently. In an embodiment, the limitations include an error threshold that stops the application of the configuration if the number of configuration failures meets or exceeds the error threshold. In an embodiment, the set of virtual computer systems is identified by providing a list of the individual virtual computer system instances, or by specifying one or more tags that are associated with the virtual computer systems in the set. In an embodiment, the administrator is able to specify that an association be applied according to a predetermined schedule.

In some examples, a method includes monitoring device management actions. In some examples, the method includes predicting whether a proposed operation will trigger a device management action based on triggers and the device management actions. In some examples, the method may include generating a message in response to predicting that the proposed operation will trigger the device management action.

A methodology for assigning an identity to a plurality of unsupervised machine learning based applications is disclosed. In a computer-implemented method, a machine learning based discovery of a plurality of unsupervised machine learning based applications spanning across a plurality of diverse components in a computing environment is received. A persistent unique identifier is assigned to each of the plurality of unsupervised machine learning based applications. It is then determined which of the plurality of diverse components in the computing environment is operating with each of the plurality of unsupervised machine learning based applications.

An analysis system determines a system aspect of a system, determines an evaluation perspective for use in performing an asset management evaluation on the system aspect relating to a build of the system, an evaluation viewpoint corresponding to discovered information of the system and selects a plurality of data structures identifying data to be collected based thereupon. The analysis system, based upon the system aspect, the evaluation perspective, the evaluation viewpoint, and the plurality of data structures, determining context data. Based upon the plurality of data structures, the analysis system identifies a plurality of physical assets of the system for collection of data, queries the plurality of physical assets of the system to collect data to populate the plurality of data structures. The analysis system evaluates the data structures using the context data to produce an evaluation of at least some of the plurality of physical assets of the system.

A method includes: acquiring, based on status information, a failure risk of each of a plurality of devices including physical devices and virtual machines, each of the virtual machines being operated on any of the physical devices, the status information indicating the statuses of the plurality of devices; acquiring an influence range based on route information indicating a link in a range affected by a failure; acquiring a first influence risk based on a failure risk acquired for a first device, the first physical device being any of the physical devices; acquiring a second influence risk based on a failure risk of a second device, the second influence risk indicating a possibility of a target device being affected by a failure in another device; and determining the second physical devices as a destination candidate of the target device when the second influence risk is lower than the first influence risk.

Embodiments implement a tool for interrogating heterogeneous computing systems. Environment variables of a computing device including at least an operating system can be detected. Script commands configured using the retrieved environment variables can be built, where the built script commands are customized based on the detected operating system. Structured query level commands configured to retrieve metadata about enterprise elements associated with the computing device can be built. The SQL commands and script commands can be sequentially executed on the computing device, where the execution of the SQL commands and script commands is customized to the computing device such that device specific database execution parameters and application execution parameters are returned. A structured language document organized according to the returned database execution parameters and application execution parameters can be generated.

An information processing device performs control to record identification information of at least a part of a plurality of magnetic tapes belonging to a magnetic tape pool, on the plurality of magnetic tapes or on a recording medium except for the magnetic tapes that is provided in a plurality of magnetic tape cartridges including the plurality of magnetic tapes, respectively.

A disclosed example meter to monitor a media device includes a touch sense circuit including a circuit input and a circuit output, the circuit input to electrically couple with a first power line of the meter and a capacitor, the circuit output to provide a first value based on the capacitor when the first power line of the meter is not electrically coupled with a second power line of the media device, the circuit output to provide a second value different from the first value when the first power line of the meter is electrically coupled with the second power line of the media device. The disclosed example meter also includes at least one processor to detect the first power line of the meter is not electrically coupled with the second power line of the media device when the circuit output of the touch sense circuit provides the first value.
