Abstract:
1. A method comprising steps of: receiving a set of system measurement values periodically over time, wherein each system measurement value of the set of system measurement values is a value for a particular system measure of a set of system measures; wherein each system measurement value of the set of system measurement values is taken at a measurement time point within a time interval associated with the particular system measure; wherein the time interval includes a plurality of recent successive measurement time points; identifying a particular set of system measurement values that were taken at measurement time points included in the time interval; determining a count of system measurement values of the particular set of system measurement values, wherein a system measurement value is counted if said system measurement value exceeds a threshold value wherein the particular system measure is associated with the threshold value and a number of measurement time points included in the time interval; determining a system measure state for the particular system measure based on the count of system measurement values, wherein the system measure state of the particular system measure is provided to a probabilistic model, wherein the probabilistic model determines a probability of a failure value based on the system measure state of the particular system measure in a complex multi-host system; wherein each step is performed by one or more computing devices.
