PATTERN ORIENTED DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS

摘要

A process for determining a problematic condition while running software includes: loading a first pattern data set having a symptom code module, a problematic condition determination module, and a set of responsive action module(s), generating a runtime symptom code in response to a first problematic condition being caused by the running of the software on the computer, determining that the runtime symptom code matches a symptom code corresponding to the first pattern data set, determining that the first problematic condition caused the generation of the runtime symptom code, and taking a responsive action from a set of responsive action(s) that corresponds to the first problematic condition.

1. A method for determining a problematic condition caused by running of software on a computer that includes a volatile memory, the method comprising:
loading a first pattern data set into volatile memory, with the first pattern data set including a symptom code module, problematic condition determination module and a set of responsive action module(s), with each responsive action module of the set of responsive action module(s) respectively corresponding to a different problematic condition; generating a runtime symptom code in response to a first problematic condition being caused by the running of the software on the computer; determining, by the symptom code module of the first pattern data set stored in the volatile memory, that the runtime symptom code matches a symptom code corresponding to the first pattern data set; determining, by the problematic condition determination module of the first pattern data set stored in the volatile memory, that the first problematic condition caused the generation of the runtime symptom code; and taking a responsive action, by the responsive action module, from the set of responsive action(s) stored in the volatile memory, that corresponds to the first problematic condition.
