Patent Images
1. An information processing system for detecting soft failures, the information processing system comprising:
- a memory;
a processor; and
a soft failure detection system communicatively coupled to the memory and the processor, the soft failure detection system for performing a method comprising;
monitoring a set of artifacts being generated by at least one process in a system;
determining, based on the monitoring, that a number of artifacts being generated by the process is below a given threshold, wherein the threshold is based on a set of historical data associated with artifact generation by the process;
analyzing, based on the determining, the process;
determining, based on the analyzing, a current state of the process; and
generating a notification based on the current state of the process comprising a set of abnormal behaviors.

Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product detect soft failures as follows. A set of artifacts being generated by at least one process in a system is monitored. A number of artifacts being generated by the process is determined to be below a given threshold in response to the monitoring. The process is monitored in response to the determination. A current state of the process is determined in response to the analyzing. A notification is generated in response to the current state of the process including a set of abnormal behaviors.

15. A computer program product for detecting soft failures, the computer program product comprising:
-
a non-transitory storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method comprising; identifying at least one process in a system to monitor based on a number of artifacts generated by the at least one process; monitoring, based on the identifying, a set of artifacts being generated by at the least one process; determining, based on the monitoring, that a number of artifacts being generated by the process is below a given threshold, wherein the threshold is based on a set of historical data associated with artifact generation by the process; analyzing, in response to the determining, the at least one process; determining, based on the analyzing, a current state of the at least one process; and generating a notification based on the current state of the at least one process comprising a set of abnormal behaviors.
