Patent ID: 8904240

Claim:
A computer program product, comprising: a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, the computer-readable program code comprising: computer-readable program code configured to monitor a set of health status metrics of a virtual machine at a first level; computer-readable program code configured to analyze data of the monitored health status metrics to determine that an instability has occurred when the data exceeds defined bounds for the computing system health status metrics; computer-readable program code configured to respond to the instability by monitoring additional health status metrics, whereby a level of monitoring of the system is increased from the first level to a second level, greater than the first level; computer-readable program code configured to repair the system by taking corrective action based on the instability; and computer-readable program code configured to stop monitoring at least one of the set of monitored health status metrics to reduce the level of monitoring to a third level once the instability has been resolved, wherein the third level is less than the second level.
