Remote monitoring and assessment of operating system parameters

A method for monitoring and identifying changes in one or more parameters of an operating system (OS), comprising:

• performing a measurement by a measurement application of a first computer system of the one or more parameters of a first OS executing on the first computer system, wherein the first OS is associated with a first network slice instantiated by the first computer system, wherein the first network slice comprises at least one of an enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) network slice, a massive machine-type communications (mMTC) network slice, or an ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) network slice of a 5G network;
• receiving the measurement of the one or more parameters of the first OS by an appraisal application executing on a second computer system communicatively coupled to the first computer system;
• storing the measurement of the one or more parameters of the first OS in a data store communicatively coupled to the second computer system;
• comparing the measurement of the one or more parameters of the first OS by the appraisal application with one or more first OS parameter norms associated with the first network slice, the one or more first OS parameter norms stored in the data store and determined from measurements of one or more parameters of a first plurality of OSs;
• and
• identifying a change in the one or more parameters of the first OS by the appraisal application in response to comparing the measurement of the one or more parameters of the first OS with the one or more first OS parameter norms.

• receiving the measurement of the one or more parameters of the OS by an appraisal application executing on a second computer system communicatively coupled to the first computer system;
• storing the measurement of the one or more parameters of the OS immutably in at least one blockchain of a data store communicatively coupled to the second computer system;
• comparing the measurement of the one or more parameters of the OS by the appraisal application with a previous measurement of the one or more parameters of the OS performed by the measurement application and stored in the at least one blockchain;
• identifying a change in the one or more parameters of the OS by the appraisal application in response to comparing the measurement of the one or more parameters of the OS with the previous measurement of the one or more parameters of the OS;
• and
• automatically changing the one or more parameters of the OS to correspond to the previously measured one or more parameters of the OS by a remediation application executing on the second computer system in response to identifying the change in the one or more parameters of the OS.
