DIAGNOSABILITY SYSTEM: FLOOD CONTROL
First Claim
1. A method for controlling gathering of diagnostic data for a monitored system, comprising:
- determining a first rule for a condition detected in the monitored system, the first rule specifying when diagnostic data gathering is to be suppressed or allowed upon occurrence of the detected condition;
determining, based upon the first rule, if gathering of diagnostic data for the condition is to be suppressed; and
wherein gathering of diagnostic data for the detected condition is suppressed upon determining that gathering of diagnostic data for the detected condition is to be suppressed.

Abstract
Techniques for controlling collection of diagnostic data in a monitored system. A set of flood control rules are configured for the monitored system for controlling the gathering of diagnostic data in the monitored system. The set of flood control rules may include one or more default flood control rules. The set of flood control rules are user-configurable enabling the user of the monitored system to set policies for dynamically controlling gathering of diagnostic data for the monitored system. In one embodiment, diagnostic data gathering is controlled based upon a number of previous occurrences of a condition in some predefined or user-configured time frame that triggers diagnostic data gathering and/or a number of previous executions of an action performed in some predefined or user-configured time frame responsive to the condition in the monitored system.

7. A method for controlling gathering of diagnostic data for a monitored system, comprising:
-
determining a second rule for a diagnostic action to be performed in response to a condition detected in the monitored system, the second rule specifying when execution of the diagnostic action is to be suppressed or allowed; determining, based upon the second rule, if execution of the diagnostic action is to be suppressed; and wherein gathering of diagnostic data for the condition is suppressed upon determining that the execution of the diagnostic action is to be suppressed. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A system for controlling gathering of diagnostic data for a monitored system, comprising:
-
a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory; wherein the processor is configured to; determine a first rule for a condition detected in the monitored system, the first rule specifying when diagnostic data gathering is to be suppressed or allowed upon occurrence of the detected condition; determine, based upon the first rule, if gathering of diagnostic data for the condition is to be suppressed; and wherein gathering of diagnostic data for the detected condition is suppressed upon determining that gathering of diagnostic data for the detected condition is to be suppressed. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)

19. A computer-readable storage medium storing a plurality of instructions for controlling a processor to control diagnostic data gathering for a monitored system, the plurality of instructions comprising:
-
instructions that cause the processor to determine a first rule for a condition detected in the monitored system, the first rule specifying when diagnostic data gathering is to be suppressed or allowed upon occurrence of the detected condition; instructions that cause the processor to determine, based upon the first rule, if gathering of diagnostic data for the condition is to be suppressed; and wherein gathering of diagnostic data for the detected condition is suppressed upon determining that the gathering of diagnostic data for the detected condition is to be suppressed.
