Abstract:
1. A method for failure recognition, comprising: monitoring a system to collect monitoring data; detecting a failure of the system, wherein the failure includes an abnormal system state; identifying a failure point for the detected failure in a data space defined by the monitoring data; associating at least one predefined action with the identified failure point; identifying values of the monitoring data in a neighborhood of the identified failure point; dividing the neighborhood of the identified failure point into pre-failure data and post-failure data, wherein the pre-failure data and post-failure data identify pre-failure and post-failure states of the system, respectively; dividing the pre-failure data into a plurality of ranges and associating a unique predefined action with each of said ranges; determining if a state of the system reaches a point within a space defined by one of the plurality of ranges; in response to said state of the system reaching a point within a space defined by one of the plurality of ranges, performing said unique predefined action associated with said one of the plurality of ranges; wherein each of the unique predefined actions comprises an automatic self-healing preventive action and at least one of the unique predefined actions further comprises a notification, wherein the notification comprises an indicator of system unavailability and a period of unavailability; and outputting a representation of the performed predefined action.
