SYSTEM AND PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR DETECTING AN OPERATIONAL RISK OF A NODE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for detecting an operational risk of a node, comprising:
- an input system for receiving a monitored performance for each of a plurality of nodes that are configured to perform similarly with respect to a set of operational aspects, wherein the monitored performance of each individual node is determined by measuring a performance value of at least one of the set of operational aspects;
a comparison system for comparing the monitored performance of each of the plurality of nodes with the monitored performance of a different node of the plurality of nodes, wherein the comparing is between two individual nodes; and
a detection system for detecting an operational risk of one of the plurality of similarly configured nodes, wherein the operational risk is detected if the monitored performance of the one node varies from the monitored performances of a different node of the plurality of nodes by more than a current tolerance, wherein the current tolerance is defined as one selected from a group consisting of;
a statically pre-defined tolerance and dynamically variable tolerance.

Abstract
Under the present invention, the performances of a plurality of similarly configured nodes are monitored and compared. If one of the nodes exhibits a performance that varies from the performances of the other nodes by more than a current tolerance, an operational risk is detected. If detected, an alert can be generated and one or more corrective actions implemented to address the operational risk.

9. A program product stored on a recordable medium for detecting an operational risk of a node, which when executed comprises:
-
program code for receiving a monitored performance for each of a plurality of nodes that are configured to perform similarly with respect to a set of operational aspects, wherein the monitored performance of each individual node is determined by measuring a performance value of at least one of the set of operational aspects; program code for comparing the monitored performance of each of the plurality of nodes with the monitored performance of a different node of the plurality of nodes, wherein the comparing is on a node-to-node basis between two individual nodes; and program code for detecting an operational risk of one of the plurality of similarly configured nodes, wherein the operational risk is detected if the monitored performance of the one node varies from the monitored performances of a different node of the plurality of nodes by more than a current tolerance, wherein the current tolerance is defined as one selected from a group consisting of;
