In-flight Telemetry Drift Detection via Pre-configured Compliance Checks
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Information handling systems face challenges in detecting and addressing telemetry metric report drift, which can lead to misinterpretation and network burden due to inconsistencies in report content and formatting, potentially indicating tampering.
Innovation Solution
An information handling system analyzes incoming telemetry metric reports for compliance with predetermined characteristics, instructing client systems to adjust their reports to match these characteristics, thereby preventing misinterpretation and reducing network traffic.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If telemetry metric reports are transmitted without verification, then network traffic volume is reduced, but data accuracy and reliability deteriorate due to potential drift and tampering
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by establishing predetermined characteristics and verification rules before telemetry reports are transmitted. The managing information handling system pre-configures expected metric types, data structures, and formatting standards, then automatically verifies incoming reports against these pre-established criteria without requiring complex real-time analysis
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by automatically comparing received telemetry metric reports against predetermined characteristics and generating verification results. When drift or tampering is detected, the system provides feedback to identify specific deviations, enabling continuous improvement of data quality through automated monitoring and correction recommendations
2Reliability
If all telemetry metric reports are thoroughly verified, then data reliability is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the verification process into distinct, manageable components: extracting specific metrics from reports, comparing individual metric types against predetermined characteristics, and generating separate verification results for different aspects of the data. This modular approach enables parallel processing and reduces overall verification time while maintaining comprehensive checking
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter changes by dynamically adjusting verification thresholds and checking depths based on metric types and system conditions. Critical security-related metrics receive more stringent verification, while less critical metrics undergo lighter checking, optimizing the balance between reliability and processing time through adaptive parameter adjustment
3Productivity
If telemetry metric report characteristics are not monitored, then system complexity is reduced, but network burden increases due to extraneous information transmission
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the extraction principle by identifying and removing extraneous or non-compliant characteristics from telemetry metric reports before transmission. The managing information handling system extracts only the necessary, standardized metrics that conform to predetermined characteristics, eliminating redundant or unauthorized data elements that would consume network bandwidth without providing value

AI summary
A first information handling system may receive a telemetry metric report from a client information handling system. The first information handling system may determine that one or more characteristics of the telemetry metric report do not match one or more predetermined telemetry metric report characteristics. The first information handling system may perform one or more corrective actions based, at least in part, on the determination that the one or more characteristics of the telemetry metric report do not match one or more predetermined telemetry metric report characteristics.
