Title: Determining related messages for filtering groups of error messages
Inventor: WATANABE YUKIHIRO
IPC: G06F11/07
Filed: 2013-10-15
Abstract: In a message log sent from a device, calculating units calculate a probability that after a first message or a second message occurs within a period, a third calculating unit calculates a co-occurrence relation of the first message and the second message based on the probability. The system may allow messages relating to a fault to be grouped, and assigned to an administrator for investigation in a cloud environment at the data centre, by a filter, so that information on similar faults can be provided to a customer engineer. This may be because periodic repeat error messages are sent, or related devices also affected by the error may send failure notifications.
