System and method for baseline threshold monitoring
First Claim
1. A system for identifying exceptional behavior of a hardware or software component, the system comprising:
- an operational metric calculator operative to sample a first behavior of an operational metric and a second behavior of the operational metric, wherein the operational metric quantifies a behavior of a component;
wherein the sampling of the first behavior of the operational metric occurs during a time period within the time window;
a baseline threshold calculator operative to calculate a baseline threshold, based on the sampling for the time window, wherein the baseline threshold calculator smoothes the baseline threshold to remove noise and temporary peaks in the operational metric data, for the operational metric on the basis of the first sampled behavior of the operational metric; and
a baseline threshold analyzer operative to apply the baseline threshold for the operational metric to the second sampled behavior of the operational metric and generate an alarm when the second sampled behavior of the operational metric deviates from the baseline threshold.

Abstract
The present invention provides a system for identifying exceptional behavior of a hardware or software component. According to one embodiment, the system comprises an operational metric calculator that is operative to sample a first behavior of an operational metric and a second behavior of the operational metric. The operational metric may be any metric that quantifies the operation of a hardware or software component, as well as combinations thereof. A baseline threshold calculator is operative to calculate a baseline threshold on the basis of the first sampled behavior of the operational metric. The baseline threshold is applied by a baseline threshold analyzer to the second operational metric to generate an alarm when the second sampled behavior of the operational metric deviates from the baseline threshold.
