Abstract:
1. A process comprising: an active monitoring component receiving one or more metrics associated with each of a first active functional component and a second active functional component of a plurality of active functional components of a system, wherein the first active functional component contributes to a different functionality of the system than the second active functional component; based at least in part on the one or more metrics associated with a particular active functional component of the first active functional component or the second active functional component, the active monitoring component determining that the particular active functional component has reached a likelihood of failure but has not failed; in response to determining that the particular active functional component has reached the likelihood of failure but has not failed, the active monitoring component causing a set of one or more actions that are predicted to reduce the likelihood of failure; wherein the likelihood of failure is a first likelihood of failure; wherein the set of one or more actions is a first set of one or more actions; the active monitoring component receiving one or more updated metrics associated with the particular active functional component; based at least in part on the one or more updated metrics associated with the particular active functional component, the active monitoring component determining that the particular active functional component has reached a second likelihood of failure but has not failed, wherein the second likelihood of failure is greater than at the first likelihood of failure; in response to determining that the particular active functional component has reached the second likelihood of failure, the active monitoring component causing a second set of one or more actions that are predicted to reduce the second likelihood of failure; wherein, at any given likelihood of failure of the particular active functional component, the second set of one or more actions has a greater risk of causing the system to fail than the first set of one or more actions; wherein the process is performed by one or more computing devices.
