Classifying situations for system management
First Claim
1. A method comprising the steps of:
- receiving a result of a situation classification operation from a classifier; and
automatically taking a management action in a system management tool for a managed system based at least in part on the result of the situation classification operation;
wherein the system management tool has a first scope of vision of the system and the classifier has a second scope of vision of the system different than the first scope of vision, the first and second scopes of vision comprising respective abilities to measure metrics associated with or otherwise impacting operating conditions of the system;
wherein the situation classification operation comprises monitoring operation of the system in a situational state space having dimensions that characterize one or more operating conditions of the system to identify a current state of the system in the situational state space;
wherein at least one of the operating conditions of the system is within the second scope of vision and outside the first scope of vision; and
wherein the steps are performed by at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory.

Abstract
An information processing system comprises a system management tool, a managed system and a classifier. The system management tool receives a result of a situation classification operation from the classifier, and automatically takes a management action relating to the managed system based at least in part on the result of the situation classification operation. The situation classification result may be determined by monitoring operation of the managed system in a situational state space having dimensions that characterize operating conditions of the system, and identifying a current state of the system in the situational state space. The management action automatically taken by the system management tool may comprise, for example, setting at least one policy for the managed system by selecting and deploying a particular one of a plurality of policy sets responsive to the result of the situation classification operation.

13. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having encoded therein executable code of one or more software programs, wherein the one or more software programs when executed by the processor of the processing device implement the steps of:
-
receiving a result of a situation classification operation from a classifier; and automatically taking a management action in a system management tool for a managed system based at least in part on the result of the situation classification operation; wherein the system management tool has a first scope of vision of the system and the classifier has a second scope of vision of the system different than the first scope of vision, the first and second scopes of vision comprising respective abilities to measure metrics associated with or otherwise impacting operating conditions of the system; wherein the situation classification operation comprises monitoring operation of the system in a situational state space having dimensions that characterize one or more operating conditions of the system to identify a current state of the system in the situational state space; wherein at least one of the operating conditions of the system is within the second scope of vision and outside the first scope of vision.

14. An apparatus comprising:
-
a system management tool implemented on at least one processing device; wherein the system management tool is configured to receive a result of a situation classification operation from a classifier, and to automatically take a management action relating to a managed system based at least in part on the result of the situation classification operation; wherein the system management tool has a first scope of vision of the system and the classifier has a second scope of vision of the system different than the first scope of vision, the first and second scopes of vision comprising respective abilities to measure metrics associated with or otherwise impacting operating conditions of the system; wherein the situation classification operation comprises monitoring operation of the system in a situational state space having dimensions that characterize one or more operating conditions of the system to identify a current state of the system in the situational state space; wherein at least one of the operating conditions of the system is within the second scope of vision and outside the first scope of vision. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
