Method, monitoring system and computer program product for monitoring the health of a monitored system utilizing an associative memory
First Claim
1. A monitoring system for monitoring health of a monitored system, the monitoring system comprising:
- a receiver module configured to receive a plurality of sensor data relating to the monitored system and to receive textual data relating to the monitored system;
an associative memory configured to store the sensor data, the textual data and associated time values and to establish associations between at least some of the sensor data and the textual data;
a dynamic change identification module configured to identify an instance in which the sensor data changes by at least a predefined amount within a time period less than a predefined temporal threshold so as to represent a dynamic change in condition; and
a correlation module configured to identify an instance in which textual data is associated with the sensor data proximate the dynamic change in condition so as to correlate the sensor data and the textual data, wherein the correlation module is configured to correlate the sensor data and the textual data by identifying an instance in which the time value associated with the textual data is within a predefined period of time from a time at which the sensor data experienced the dynamic change in condition.

Abstract
A monitoring system, method and computer program product are provided for monitoring the health of a monitored system. The monitoring system may include a receiver module to receive a plurality of sensor data relating to the monitored system and to receive textual data, such as free text, relating to the monitored system. The monitoring system may also include an associative memory to store and process the sensor data and the textual data and to establish associations between at least some of the sensor data and the textual data. Further, the monitoring system may include a dynamic change identification module to identify an instance in which the sensor data represents a dynamic change in condition and a correlation module to identify an instance in which textual data is associated with the sensor data proximate the dynamic change in condition so as to correlate the sensor data and the textual data.

7. A method for monitoring health of a monitored system, the method comprising:
-
receiving a plurality of sensor data relating to the monitored system; receiving textual data relating to the monitored system; storing the sensor data and the textual data in an associative memory, wherein storing in the associative memory comprises establishing associations between at least some of the sensor data, the textual data and associated time values; identifying, with a processor, an instance in which the sensor data changes by at least a predefined amount within a time period less than a predefined temporal threshold so as to represent a dynamic change in condition; and identifying, with the processor, an instance in which textual data is associated with the sensor data proximate the dynamic change in condition so as to correlate the sensor data and the textual data by identifying an instance in which the time value associated with the textual data is within a predefined period of time from a time at which the sensor data experienced the dynamic change in condition. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for monitoring health of a monitored system, the computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein that in response to execution by a processor cause an apparatus to:
-
receive a plurality of sensor data relating to the monitored system; receive textual data relating to the monitored system; store the sensor data and the textual data in an associative memory so as to establish associations between at least some of the sensor data, the textual data and associated time values; identify an instance in which the sensor data changes by at least a predefined amount within a time period less than a predefined temporal threshold so as to represent a dynamic change in condition; and identify an instance in which textual data is associated with the sensor data proximate the dynamic change in condition so as to correlate the sensor data and the textual data by identifying an instance in which the time value associated with the textual data is within a predefined period of time from a time at which the sensor data experienced the dynamic change in condition. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
