Diagnostic data repository
First Claim
1. A method for organizing and storing diagnostic data in a diagnostic data repository comprising:
- storing, by a computer system, first diagnostic data related to a first monitored system in a first directory in the diagnostic data repository, the first diagnostic data including a first correlation key associated with an attribute namestoring, by the computer system, second diagnostic data related to a second monitored system in a second directory in the diagnostic data repository, the second diagnostic data including a second correlation key associated with the attribute name; and
determining, by the computer system, whether the first and second diagnostic data are correlated,wherein the first and second diagnostic data are correlated when the first and second directories are stored under a common base directory and the first correlation key matches the second correlation key.

Abstract
Techniques for systematically gathering, organizing, and storing diagnostic data related to multiple monitored systems (e.g., multiple instances of a product or multiple products). A centralized repository is provided that is organized in a hierarchical manner to facilitate proper organization of the diagnostic data related to multiple monitored systems. In one embodiment, a root directory comprising one or more subdirectories is provided for storing diagnostic data collected for each monitored system. Multiple root directories may be provided under a common base directory for storing diagnostic data corresponding to multiple monitored systems. This enables correlation of diagnostic data across multiple monitored systems.

11. A computer readable storage medium storing a plurality of instructions for controlling a processor to organize and store diagnostic data in a diagnostic data repository, the plurality of instructions comprising:
-
instructions that cause the processor to store first diagnostic data related to a first monitored system in a first directory in the diagnostic data repository, the first diagnostic data including a first correlation key associated with an attribute name; instructions that cause the processor to store second diagnostic data related to a second monitored system in a second directory in the diagnostic data repository, the second diagnostic data including a second correlation key associated with the attribute name; instructions that cause the processor to determine whether the first and second diagnostic data are correlated, wherein the first and second diagnostic data are correlated when the first and second directories are stored under a common base directory and the first correlation key matches the second correlation key. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A system for organizing and storing diagnostic data in a diagnostic data repository, the system comprising:
-
a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory; wherein the processor is configured to; store first diagnostic data related to a first monitored system in a first directory in the diagnostic data repository, the first diagnostic data including a first correlation key associated with an attribute name; store second diagnostic data related to a second monitored system in a second directory in the diagnostic data repository, the second diagnostic data including a second correlation key associated with the attribute name; and determine whether the first and second diagnostic data are correlated, wherein the first and second diagnostic data are correlated when the first and second directories are stored under a common base directory and the first correlation key matches the second correlation key.
