Abstract
A domain management resource monitors a behavior of a user controlling multiple resources disposed in a domain of a network environment. Based on the monitored behavior, the domain management resource identifies a repeated pattern of control in which the user controls a particular resource in the domain. The domain management resource derives a proposed control rule based on the repeated pattern of control. The proposed control specifies how to control the particular resource. The domain management resource presents the control rule for review and possible editing prior to programming the domain management resource to execute the control rule.
Claims25
A method comprising:
- monitoring a behavior of a user controlling multiple resources disposed in a domain of a network environment, the multiple resources communicatively coupled to a domain management resource associated with the domain;
- based on the monitored behavior, identifying a repeated pattern of control in which the user controls a particular resource in the domain;
- producing a proposed control rule based on the repeated pattern of control, the proposed control rule specifying how to control the particular resource;
- and
- presenting the proposed control rule for review prior to programming the domain management resource with the proposed control rule.
A system comprising:
- a domain management resource operative to:
- monitor a behavior of a user controlling multiple resources disposed in a domain of a network environment, the multiple resources communicatively coupled to a domain management resource associated with the domain;
- based on the monitored behavior, identify a repeated pattern of control in which the user controls a particular resource in the domain;
- produce a proposed control rule based on the repeated pattern of control, the proposed control rule specifying how to control the particular resource;
- and
- present the proposed control rule for review prior to programming the domain management resource with the proposed control rule.
Computer-readable hardware storage having instructions stored thereon, the instructions, when carried out by computer processor hardware, causes the computer processor hardware to:
- monitor a behavior of a user controlling multiple resources disposed in a domain of a network environment, the multiple resources communicatively coupled to a domain management resource associated with the domain;
- based on the monitored behavior, identify a repeated pattern of control in which the user controls a particular resource in the domain;
- produce a proposed control rule based on the repeated pattern of control, the proposed control rule specifying how to control the particular resource;
- and
- present the proposed control rule for review prior to programming the domain management resource with the proposed control rule.
