Method of detecting measurements in service level agreement based systems

摘要

A method and program product are provided for implementing object state changes in a data network system that includes at least one application having a plurality of objects. Each object is capable of being in of a plurality of different object states. The method comprises utilizing a network monitor to identify potential object state anomaly candidates from among the plurality of objects and utilizing object measurements taken during a predetermined time segment to determine if the current object state of a potential object state anomaly candidate should change from the current object state to an updated object state.

1. A method of implementing object state changes in a data network system that includes at least one application having a plurality of objects, each object capable of being in one of a plurality of different discrete object states arranged in an order from a lowest object state to a highest object state, the method comprising:
monitoring the data network using a network monitor to identify potential object state anomaly candidates from among the plurality of objects, each potential object state anomaly candidate having a current state, the current state being one of the plurality of different discrete object states arranged in the order from the lowest object state to the highest object state; utilizing object measurements taken during a predetermined time segment to determine if the current object state of a potential object state anomaly candidate should change from the current object state to an updated object state, the updated object state being one of the plurality of different discrete object states that is lower or higher than the current object state; generating a histogram for the potential object state anomaly candidate that identifies the number of object measurements in each of the plurality of different discrete object states within the predetermined time segment; and in response to determining that the current object state should change from the current object state to the updated object state, changing the current object state to the updated object state, wherein the step of utilizing object measurements comprises comparing the number of object measurements in one object state to the number of object measurements in another object state.
