MANAGEMENT OF COMPUTING MACHINES WITH TROUBLESHOOTING PRIORITIZATION
First Claim
1. A method for managing a plurality of computing machines, the method comprising:
- executing, by one or more processors, a management activity on one or more computing machines;
receiving, by one or more processors, a corresponding result of the execution of the management activity on the one or more computing machines;
determining, by one or more processors, a success fingerprint according to one or more characteristics of the one or more computing machines based on a comparison with the one or more computing machines, wherein the management activity is successfully executed on the one or more computing machines;
calculating, by one or more processors, a similarity index for the one or more computing machines, wherein the management activity is not successfully executed on the one or more computing machines by comparing the one or more computing machines, wherein the management activity is not successfully executed on the one or more computing machines with the success fingerprint according to the one or more characteristics of the one or more computing machines, wherein the management activity is successfully executed on the one or more computing machines;
prioritizing, by one or more processors, one or more failures of the one or more computing machines, wherein the management activity is not successfully executed on the one or more computing machines; and
outputting, by one or more processors, an indication of the one or more failures of the one or more computing machines, wherein the management activity is not successfully executed on the one or more computing machines, for use in troubleshooting the one or more failures.

Abstract
A solution is proposed for managing a plurality of computing machines. A corresponding method comprises causing each computing machine of at least part of the computing machines to execute a management activity on the computing machine; receiving a corresponding result of the execution of the management activity on each computing machine; determining a success fingerprint according to one or more characteristics of each of at least part of one or more wherein the corresponding result is indicative of a success of the execution of the management activity thereon; calculating a similarity index for each of one or more failure ones of the computing machines wherein the corresponding result is indicative of a failure of the execution of the management activity thereon; and prioritizing the computing machines which failed to accept a policy according to the corresponding similarity indexes.
