Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for detecting system outages using application event logs, the method executed by one or more processors programmed to perform the method, the method comprising: during a training period: obtaining, by one or more processors, a first plurality of application event logs, wherein at least one of the first plurality of application event logs corresponds to a system outage, and wherein at least one of the first plurality of application event logs does not correspond to the system outage, determining, by the one or more processors, one or more first characteristics of the at least one first application event log which corresponds to the system outage, and determining, by the one or more processors, one or more second characteristics of the at least one first application event log which does not correspond to the system outage, obtaining, by the one or more processors, a second plurality of application event logs in near real-time; comparing, by the one or more processors, one or more third characteristics of the second plurality of application event logs to at least one of: the one or more first characteristics of the at least one first application event log which corresponds to the system outage, or the one or more second characteristics of the at least one first application event log which does not correspond to the system outage; and determining, by the one or more processors, a likelihood that a system outage has occurred in near real-time based upon the comparison to decrease downtime in a computing system.
