Health check monitoring process
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of managing a system, the method comprising:
- selectively receiving at least one generated event, each generated event indicating a change in an operational parameter of one of a plurality of components of the system, each generated event being received if the event triggers at least one predetermined logical rule, the predetermined logical rule comprising an error severity threshold, wherein the error severity threshold comprises a frequency of the event received within a previous predetermined time duration and a severity of the event at a time instance;
storing the at least one generated event in a system configuration data store;
determining, for each received event, whether the received event has an associated predefined task, the predefined task comprising a periodic maintenance procedure to be performed on the managed system;
initiating a generation of an incident for each received event not having an associated predefined task, the incident comprising an interruption to standard operation of the managed system; and
initiating a generation of an administrative task for each received event having an associated predefined task.

Abstract
A health check monitoring process embedded in a client system provides automation of monitoring processes of system and application components and creates and pushes incidents and/or administration tasks to a user or user interface if a critical situation or event, such as a monitored status of a component exceeds a predetermined threshold value or state, is detected. The creation of an incident includes automatically collecting context data associated with the event, generating a incident report associated with the collected diagnostic data and generating an incident service request based on the incident report. The context data may include technical and application information that is usually required to resolve the incident. The user interface includes various views depicting different levels of information related to the service request, such as an incident work list, details of a particular incident and details of the context data associated with an incident.

11. A computer-implemented method of providing system initiated service requests, the method comprising:
-
receiving at least one generated event in response to a system-generated activating signal, each generated event indicating a change in a monitored operational parameter of one of a plurality of components of a system, each generated event being received if the event triggers at least one predetermined logical rule comprising an error severity threshold, wherein the error severity threshold comprises a frequency of the event received within a previous predetermined time duration and a severity of the event at a time instance; storing the at least one generated event in a system configuration data store; automatically collecting diagnostic data associated with each generated event in response to the particular event, wherein the diagnostic data is substantially all data that is needed to resolve the generated event; generating an incident report, in response to the particular event, based on the collected diagnostic data, the incident report describing an incident comprising an interruption to standard operation of the system; generating an incident service request for each incident report; and associating the collected diagnostic data with the generated incident service request. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer-implemented method of automatically generating service requests, the method comprising:
-
receiving at least one generated event, each generated event indicating a change in a monitored operational parameter of one of a plurality of components; storing the at least one generated event in a system configuration data store; classifying a received event as an incident when at least one of a plurality of predefined logical rules is satisfied based at least in part upon whether at least one predefined task is associated with resolving the received event, the incident comprising an interruption to standard operation of at least one of the plurality of components, the predetermined logical rule comprising an error severity threshold, wherein the error severity threshold comprises a frequency of the event received within a previous predetermined time duration and a severity of the event at a time instance; automatically collecting context data for each classified event in response to the particular event; generating, for each classified event, a problem report, wherein the problem report includes a description of the classified event; and generating an incident service request, for each classified event, including the description of the classified event from the corresponding problem report. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
