System and method for maintaining the health of a machine
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for maintaining the operational health of at least one local machine in a computer network, the computer network connecting multiple local machines operated by users and at least one regional zone machine, said method comprising:
- storing instructions in a nontransitory electronic database;
implementing a computer processor for accessing the stored instructions in the database and executing the instructions to perform steps including;
utilizing the at least one regional zone machine for managing a plurality of plug-ins disposed on the local machines for resolving health risk related events;
identifying a plug-in for resolving a detected health risk event from the plurality of plug-ins for resolving health risk related events, the plug-in permitted for use on the at least one local machine, said plug-in being a purpose-specific plug-in associated with the detected health-risk event, and said plug-in having one or more trigger specifications to allow deployment of said plug-in on said local machine;
monitoring a health status of said local machine according to said one or more trigger specifications, said trigger specifications each having a pre-defined threshold value representative of optimal operation of said local machine;
identifying at least one current threshold value associated with operation of said local machine;
detecting said health-risk event upon determining said at least one current threshold value exceeds said pre-defined threshold value;
generating a notification associated with detection of said health-risk event for communication to a user of said local machine, the notification requesting user action;
determining a priority of said health-risk event;
monitoring a status of the user action to determine if the user action is incomplete; and
deploying said plug-in when the user action is incomplete in response to said detected health-risk event, said plug-in configured to automatically resolve said detected health-risk event on the local machine based on the priority of the health-risk event.

Abstract
Systems and methods for maintaining the health of a client machine are provided. One or more trigger specifications, each having pre-defined threshold values representative of desired parameters for optimal operation, may be associated with the client machine. Trigger specifications may be monitored, in real-time or according to a schedule, to ascertain a health status of the client machine. When a threshold value of a trigger specification is exceeded, a health-risk event may be detected on the client machine and a plug-in associated with the trigger specification may be deployed to resolve the detected health-risk event.
