Systems and methods for monitoring and acting on logged system messages

摘要

A computer operations center that has a number of computing systems, where each computing system issues system messages regarding such computing system. Each issued system message from each computing system is stored in a message logging database. The system messages stored in the message logging database are monitored for predetermined patterns, and upon detecting a particular pattern in the system messages, a predetermined action corresponding to the detected pattern is taken. The detected pattern anticipates an occurrence of an unwanted system event, and the corresponding action is intended to prevent or at least minimize the unwanted system event.
