Embodiments help timely remediation of issues in a data protection system by automatically evaluating scripts configured to address the issues. The system has a bounded list of possible attributes that are deemed important by system administrators. Each attribute is assigned a System Impact Score (SIS) along a defined scale. A self-healing processing component monitors the state of each attribute over time. The scripts are evaluated through repeated execution and use of the attribute monitoring to determine which attributes are affected by a script. Weights are assigned to each attribute affected by a script to aid in the selection of scripts most likely to remediate an actionable issue. Regularly performing script evaluation and attribute weighting allows for updating of scripts with an accurate list of attributes to overcome problems associated with manual updates.
