Abstract

A method and system for communicating with IoT devices to gather information related to device operation or performance is disclosed. The system makes a copy of at least a portion of the device's non-volatile memory and/or receives IoT device data (e.g., sensor data and/or log files etc.) from an IoT device. The system determines which log files and/or sensor data, for example, the IoT device created. After gathering this information, the system stores the information, or may send it to a storage destination for further analysis. The information may also be placed into secondary storage to comply with regulatory, insurance, or legal purposes.

Claims (52)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

determining that a triggering event has occurred in an Internet of Things (IoT) device operating in a vehicle,

wherein the IoT device generated at least one log file associated with the IoT device;

taking one or more of:

a snapshot of a device memory of the IoT device, and

a replica of the device memory of the IoT device;

storing at a computing device one or more of:

the snapshot of the device memory of the IoT device,

the replica of the device memory of the IoT device, and

the at least one log file;

and transmitting one or more of:

the snapshot of the device memory of the IoT device,

the replica of the device memory of the IoT device, and

the at least one log file to one or more of: a cloud storage and a information management system.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising:

receiving, by an IoT data agent, previously stored data related to the IoT device; and

transmitting the previously stored data related to the IoT device to one or more of: the cloud storage and the information management system.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the computing device polls the IoT device for triggering events including the triggering event.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the triggering event comprises one or more of: an error in the IoT device, a failure of the IoT device, and a malfunction of the IoT device.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the triggering event occurs when an operating condition of the IoT device passes a threshold condition of one or more of: current, voltage, temperature, and power.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the triggering event is based on a storage policy at the information management system.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the IoT device comprises an IoT data agent configured to transmit data to the cloud storage or the information management system.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising: generating by the information management system one or more secondary copies based on one or more of: the snapshot of the device memory of the IoT device, the replica of the device memory of the IoT device, and the at least one log file.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein one or more of: the snapshot of the device memory of the IoT device, the replica of the device memory of the IoT device, and the at least one log file are transmitted to the cloud storage, and further comprising:

initiating, at the information management system, a backup of one or more of: the snapshot of the device memory of the IoT device, the replica of the device memory of the IoT device, and the at least one log file, from the cloud storage to a data storage device associated with the information management system.

10. A computing system, the computing system configured to:

using one or more computer processors:

determine that a triggering event has occurred in an Internet of Things (IoT) device operating in a vehicle,

wherein the IoT device generated at least one log file associated with the IoT device;

take one or more of:

a snapshot of a device memory of the IoT device, and

a replica of the device memory of the IoT device;

store at a computing device one or more of:

the snapshot of the device memory of the IoT device,

the replica of the device memory of the IoT device, and

the at least one log file;

and

transmit one or more of:

the snapshot of the device memory of the IoT device,

the replica of the device memory of the IoT device, and

the at least one log file to one or more of: a cloud storage and a information management system.

11. The computing system of claim 10 , the computing system further configured to:

receive, by an IoT data agent, previously stored data related to the IoT device; and

transmit the previously stored data related to the IoT device to one or more of: the cloud storage and the information management system.

12. The computing system of claim 10 , wherein the computing device polls the IoT device for triggering events including the triggering event.

13. The computing system of claim 10 , wherein the triggering event comprises one or more of: an error in the IoT device, a failure of the IoT device, and a malfunction of the IoT device.

14. The computing system of claim 10 , wherein the triggering event occurs when an operating condition of the IoT device passes a threshold condition of one or more of: current, voltage, temperature, and power.

15. The computing system of claim 10 , wherein the triggering event is based on a storage policy at the information management system.

16. The computing system of claim 10 , wherein the IoT device comprises an IoT data agent configured to transmit data to the cloud storage or the information management system.

17. The computing system of claim 10 , the computing system further configured to: generate by the information management system one or more secondary copies based on one or more of: the snapshot of the device memory of the IoT device, the replica of the device memory of the IoT device, and the at least one log file.

18. The computing system of claim 10 , wherein one or more of: the snapshot of the device memory of the IoT device, the replica of the device memory of the IoT device, and the at least one log file are transmitted to the cloud storage, and further comprising:

initiating, at the information management system, a backup of one or more of: the snapshot of the device memory of the IoT device, the replica of the device memory of the IoT device, and the at least one log file, from the cloud storage to a data storage device associated with the information management system.
