Method and system for identifying potential adverse network conditions
First Claim
1. A method of identifying potential adverse conditions in a network, comprising:
- monitoring for events in said network;
saving data indicative of said events;
responding to an adverse network condition by electronically searching said events preceding said adverse network condition for patterns; and
storing data indicative of said patterns associated with data indicative of the respective adverse network condition.

Abstract
A method and system for identifying potential adverse network conditions, the method including monitoring for events in the network, saving data indicative of the events, responding to an adverse network condition by electronically searching the events preceding the adverse network condition for patterns, and storing data indicative of the patterns associated with data indicative of the respective adverse network condition. The method may further include monitoring during run-time for matches or partial matches between the patterns and sequences of network events, and responding to a match or partial match by issuing a warning identifying the adverse network condition or conditions associated with a matched pattern or matched patterns.
