The method for acquiring the monitoring data includes: receiving registrations of the agent and a gathering device by the task distribution server; receiving, by the task distribution server, an acquiring instruction sent by the gathering device; and sending, by the task distribution server, the acquiring instruction to the agent to instruct the agent to acquire the monitoring data. Hence, a flexibility in acquiring the monitoring data is improved. | 2015-06-04 |
| 20150156088 | SYSTEM FOR TRACKING DIFFUSION - A tracking system comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored therein data representing instructions executable by a programmed processor for monitoring a database is provided. The storage medium includes instructions for storing a plurality of link identifiers in a database, each link identifier associated with a content address identifier and instructions for receiving a current shortened content address with an appended link identifier from a requesting user. The storage medium further includes instructions for determining a requested content address identifier associated with the current shortened content address and instructions for determining if the tracking system has previously received any previous shortened content address associated with the requested content address identifier from the requesting user. The storage medium also includes instructions for creating a new link identifier for the requesting user only when the tracking system has not previously received any previous shortened content address associated with the requested content address identifier from the requesting user. | 2015-06-04 |
| 20150156089 | DATA COMMUNICATION INTERFACE - Embodiments of the invention provide a data communication interface which includes a controller module, a switching module and a data port. The controller module is operable to monitor a status of a power line of the data port and, if the power line has a first status, to transmit a first communication mode instruction to the switching module. If the power line has a second status, the controller module is configured to transmit a second communication mode instruction to the switching module. The switching module is configured to receive a communication mode instruction from the controller module and, if the first communication mode instruction is received, to route data communication lines corresponding to a first communication protocol to the data port. If the second communication mode instruction is received, the switching module is configured to route data communication lines corresponding to a second communication protocol to the data port. | 2015-06-04 |
| 20150156090 | Systems and Methods for Monitoring Multiple Services - Methods and systems for monitoring multiple services provided via multiple systems. Status information for each of the multiple services is received. Status information comprises information about delivery of information technology, voice, data, or Internet service to multiple locations. The status information is assembled into a portal that when displayed provides a concurrent view of the status information for at least some of the multiple services. The portal is updated with status information based on receiving periodic status updates to the status information for each of the multiple systems. The status information from each of the multiple services is monitored to provide diagnostics through the portal pertaining to each of the multiple systems. Additionally, based on receiving notice of an error, tests may be run to identify the nature and extent of an anomaly or error. | 2015-06-04 |
| 20150156091 | MARKING PROGRAM FILES AS BELONGING TO AN APPLICATION - A managed device is searched in a computer network and program files and an installed package are discovered on the managed device. A rule is applied to package properties of the installed package to create a normalized representation of the installed package. | 2015-06-04 |
| 20150156092 | SERVER MONITORING CIRCUIT - An exemplary server monitoring circuit includes a primary control circuit, a secondary control circuit, and an indicating circuit. The primary control circuit and the secondary control circuit are both electronically connected to the indicating circuit, and the primary control circuit is further electronically connected to the secondary control circuit. The primary control circuit has a priority to control the indicating circuit, which avoids the primary control circuit from interfering with the secondary control circuit effectively. | 2015-06-04 |
| 20150156093 | INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND APPARATUS - Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an information processing method and apparatus. The method comprises: sending a first message to a first equipment, wherein the first message is used for requesting user data of a user equipment; receiving a second message sent by the first equipment according to the first message, wherein the second message carries the user data of the user equipment and a network access failure transmission indication; and when determining a network access failure of the user equipment, sending a network access failure cause value of the user equipment to a home subscriber server HSS or a failure cause processing entity according to the network access failure transmission indication. The information processing method and apparatus provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure may be used for achieving a failure diagnosis of the user equipment. | 2015-06-04 |
