Apparatus and method for analysis driven issue report generation
First Claim
1. A computerized method for generating information descriptive of issues arising in a monitored set of nodes, said method comprising the steps of:
- supplying one or more analyzer programs with node-specific information derived from one or more nodes;
causing each analyzer program to analyze at least some of the information provided from each node to detect the presence of one or more issues;
when an issue is detected, causing the analyzer program to generate issue identification information;
augmenting the issue identification information with information identifying the node from which the node-specific information was derived; and
presenting the augmented information for all the issues detected in combined form as an issues database suitable for later use in report generation.

Abstract
A computerized apparatus and method generates information descriptive of issues arising in a monitored set of nodes. The method comprises supplying one or more analyzer programs with node-specific information derived from one or more nodes. Each analyzer program is then caused to analyze at least some of the information provided from each node to detect the presence of one or more issues. When an issue is detected, the analyzer program is caused to generate issue identification information which is augmented with information identifying the node from which the node-specific information was derived. The augmented information for all the issues detected is presented in combined form as an issues database suitable for later use in report generation.

21. A system for generating information descriptive of issues arising in a monitored set of nodes comprising:
-
at least one analyzer program having provision to accept node-specific information, analyze the information for the presence of issues, and generate issue identification information when an issue is detected;
a harness that exercises one or more analyzer programs against node-specific information gathered from one or more nodes, presenting each analyzer program with at least some data from one of the nodes each time the program is exercised, and collecting any issue identification information generated by the programs, said harness augmenting the issue identification information generated with information identifying the node from which the node-specific information was obtained; and
an issues database containing the collected and augmented information for all the issues detected during such an exercising of the analyzer programs against node-specific information. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)

41. A system for generating information descriptive of issues arising in a monitored set of nodes comprising:
-
at least one analyzer means for accepting node-specific information, analyzing the information for the presence of issues, and generating issue identification information when an issue is detected;
harness means for exercising one or more analyzer means against node-specific information gathered from one or more nodes, presenting each analyzer means with at least some data from one of the nodes each time the analyzer means is exercised, and collecting any issue identification information generated by the analyzer means, said harness means also including means for augmenting the issue identification information generated with information identifying the node from which the node-specific information was obtained; and
an issues database containing the collected and augmented information for all the issues detected during such an exercising of the analyzer means against node-specific information.
