US 2021/0240589 A1 · AUTOMATIC CREATION OF BEST KNOWN CONFIGURATIONS

Abstract

Best known configurations can be automatically created for particular platforms. An update tool can be installed on end user devices and can include a health monitor engine that creates health reports for drivers and/or firmware installed on the corresponding end user device. The health reports generated on the end user devices can be provided to a best known configuration engine that can evaluate them to calculate a best known configuration for each platform. The best known configurations can then be distributed to the update tool on the end user devices to cause them to configure the end user devices to match the corresponding best known configuration.

Dependent claims

A method for automatically generating a best known configuration for a platform, the method comprising:

receiving, by a best known configuration engine and from a first set of end user devices that have the platform, health reports pertaining to a first driver or firmware that is installed on the first set of end user devices, each health report including performance information of the first driver or firmware on the corresponding end user device;
evaluating, by the best known configuration engine, the performance information of the first driver or firmware that is included in the health reports;
based on the evaluation, determining that the first driver or firmware is functioning properly on the first set of end user devices;
based on the determination, including the first driver or firmware in the best known configuration for the platform;
and
publishing the best known configuration for the platform.
