Automated Diagnosis for Electronic Systems
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for providing automated diagnosis of problems for an electronic system, comprising:
- identifying recent configuration changes made to the electronic system that fall within pre-established parameters;
ranking the identified changes into potential causes;
verifying ranked potential causes to determine whether any of the ranked potential causes may be an actual cause or contributor to the problem; and
calculating distances associated with the ranked potential causes that correspond to a relative likelihood that potential causes may be a true cause.

Abstract
Systems for providing automated diagnosis of problems for an electronic network include a central diagnosis engine configured to include modules that rank identified policy/configuration changes into potential causes, verify the ranked potential causes and determine whether any of the ranked potential causes is a likely cause or contributor to the problem. An estimator module is configured to calculate distances associated with the ranked potential causes such that a list of potential causes of the problem can be presented in order of likelihood. Other systems and methods are also provided.
