Managing network devices based on predictions of events

摘要

In an embodiment, a data processing method comprises: a computer obtaining occurrence data representing one or more performance measurements collected for a network device and associated with one or more data metrics; monitoring the occurrence data; determining one or more current trends that are reflected in the occurrence data; determining one or more predicted trends for the network device; determining, based on the predicted trends, one or more future events that are predicted to occur at the network device at a future time; determining, by applying a site policy to the one or more future events, one or more preventive actions for the network device to prevent occurrence of the one or more of the future events.

1. A computer implemented data processing method, comprising:
monitoring occurrence data, the occurrence data representing one or more performance measurements collected for a network device in a network comprising a plurality of devices, and being associated with one or more data metrics; determining one or more current trends that are reflected in the occurrence data; determining one or more predicted trends for the network device; determining, based on the predicted trends, one or more future events that are predicted to occur at the network device at a future time; and determining, by applying a site policy to the one or more future events, one or more preventive actions for the network device to prevent occurrence of the one or more of the future events; wherein the applying a site policy comprises determining whether execution of a preventive action, from the one or more preventive actions, is nontoxic to functionalities of each device in the network and the network as a whole.
