Abstract

A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer-readable handling-method generation program causing a computer to execute a method including extracting at least one existing system, which has a predetermined similarity with a new system which is newly generated or whose configuration has been changed, based on the similarity between a system configuration of at least one existing system and a system configuration of the new system; and generating candidates of event handling methods corresponding to the new system by using handling methods corresponding to a predetermined event which corresponds to the extracted existing system.

Claims

1. A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer-readable handling-method generation program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

extracting at least one existing system, which has a predetermined similarity with a new system which is newly generated or whose configuration has been changed, based on the similarity between a system configuration of at least one existing system and a system configuration of the new system; and

generating candidates of event handling methods corresponding to the new system by using handling methods corresponding to a predetermined event which corresponds to the extracted existing system,

wherein the generating includes

calculating usefulness which represents an index indicating a likelihood of employment of the handling method corresponding to the existing system for the new system,

determining the handling method to be employed for the new system based on the calculated usefulness, and

generating a handling method, which corresponds to the new system, based on the determined handling method,

wherein the calculating includes calculating the usefulness based on a similarity in the system configuration between the existing system and the new system, a timing when the handling method was executed in the existing system, and effectiveness information indicating whether the handling method was effective.

2. The non-transitory recording medium according to claim 1, wherein, in the calculating, the usefulness is calculated by using a predetermined estimation function.

3. The non-transitory recording medium according to claim 1, wherein, in the determining, the handling method to be employed for the new system is determined when the calculated usefulness of the handling method is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold value, and wherein the predetermined threshold value is an average value of the calculated usefulness of all the handling methods.

4. The non-transitory recording medium according to claim 1, wherein, the at least one existing system includes a system which is realized by Cloud computing.

5. A handling-method generation method comprising:

extracting at least one existing system, which has a predetermined similarity with a new system which is newly generated or whose configuration has been changed, based on the similarity between a system configuration of at least one existing system and a system configuration of the new system; and

generating candidates of event handling methods corresponding to the new system by using handling methods corresponding to a predetermined event which corresponds to the extracted existing system,

wherein the generating includes

calculating usefulness which represents an index indicating a likelihood of employment of the handling method corresponding to the existing system for the new system,

determining the handling method to be employed for the new system based on the calculated usefulness, and

generating a handling method, which corresponds to the new system, based on the determined handling method,

wherein the calculating includes calculating the usefulness based on a similarity in the system configuration between the existing system and the new system, a timing when the handling method was executed in the existing system, and effectiveness information indicating whether the handling method was effective.

6. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor coupled to the memory, the at least one processor configured to cause the following to be performed;

extracting at least one existing system, which has a predetermined similarity with a new system which is newly generated or whose configuration has been changed, based on the similarity between a system configuration of at least one existing system and a system configuration of the new system; and

generating candidates of event handling methods corresponding to the new system by using handling methods corresponding to a predetermined event which corresponds to the extracted existing system,

wherein the generating includes

calculating usefulness which represents an index indicating a likelihood of employment of the handling method corresponding to the existing system for the new system,

determining the handling method to be employed for the new system based on the calculated usefulness, and

generating a handling method, which corresponds to the new system, based on the determined handling method,

wherein the calculating includes calculating the usefulness based on a similarity in the system configuration between the existing system and the new system, a timing when the handling method was executed in the existing system, and effectiveness information indicating whether the handling method was effective.
