Methods, systems, and computer program products for generating a common event format representation of information from a plurality of messages include parsing a rule associated with a current message to determine if a property of a common event format representation for the current message is to be populated with a property value from a previous message. If the rule specifies to obtain the property value from the previous message, the property value is obtained from the previous message and the common event format representation for the current message is populated with the obtained property value from the previous message. The property value may be obtained by generating a computed key based on properties of the current message that are common to the previous message, and identifying the previous message based on the key of the current message. The rule associated with the current message may also be parsed to determine if the property of the common event format representation for the current message is to be populated with a property value determined by specified code. If the rule specifies to obtain the property value using the specified code, the property value is obtained using the specified code and the common event format representation for the current message is populated with the obtained property value obtained using the specified code.

Improved problem diagnosis techniques for use in accordance with computing systems, e.g., distributed computing systems, are disclosed. In one aspect of the invention, a technique for diagnosing a problem associated with a computing system comprises the following steps/operations. One or more probes are executed in accordance with at least a portion of a previously selected probe schedule. When a result of one or more of the probes of the previously selected probe schedule indicates, at least, a potential problem associated with the computing system, one or more probes which optimize at least one criterion are selected in real-time. The one or more selected probes are executed so as to diagnose the potential problem.

Systems and methods are described for the execution and authoring of policies that use event rates for event management. The first system addresses policy execution. Included in this system are: a controller that provides overall operational control, a grouping engine, a rate detector, and a rate diagnoser. The second system automates the construction of event rate policies based on primary information sources (e.g., topology, inventory). The components of this system include: an authoring user interface, source-specific hierarchy generators, an event group generator and hierarchy builder, and a threshold constructor.

摘要:
Under the present invention, a computer work gradient matrix (hereinafter “matrix”) is developed by applying a set of background loading levels and a set of elemental work increments to a computer system, and then measuring the resource consumption of the computer system based thereon. Task work path(s) are also constructed by applying specific tasks to the computer system at a certain background loading level, and measuring the resource consumption of the computer system over time. Once the matrix and task work path(s) have been provided, they can be used to approximate the resource consumption of the computer system in response to a task applied at any background loading level.

摘要:
A method and system for generating problem resolution flowcharts, whereby users do not author flowcharts directly but instead author a dependency matrix of questions and answers related by state or underlying problem cause. After creation of a matrix of questions and answers, a corresponding flowchart is then calculated based on the information in the dependency matrix, and also based on the likelihood of the various problems and their causes. The probabilities of problems and their causes may be estimated or may be calculated from historical data accumulated by use of the flow chart, or some combination of the two. These probabilities are incorporated into the answer cells of the dependency matrix. The resulting flowchart is tested and evaluated, and the results of testing and evaluation are used to make modifications in the matrix of questions and answers. The flowchart is then made available for execution by a problem determination engine, usable by staff at a help center or directly as self-help to a customer over a network. Experience from use of the problem determination engine is accumulated for use in further refinements of the dependency matrix and its probabilities.
