Abstract
An apparatus includes a memory and a hardware processor. The memory stores a plurality of conversion rules. The processor receives a first log from a server. The first log indicates that the server attempted to install a software patch. The processor converts, based on the plurality of conversion rules, the first log into a different format to produce a second log. The processor also determines, based on the second log, that the software patch install failed and determines a cause for the software patch install failure. The processor further determines a series of steps to remedy the cause and perform the series of steps to remedy the cause.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a memory configured to store a plurality of conversion rules;
- and
- a hardware processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the hardware processor configured to:
- receive a first log from a server, the first log indicating that the server attempted to install a software patch;
- convert, based on the plurality of conversion rules, the first log into a different format to produce a second log;
- determine, based on the second log, that the software patch install failed;
- determine, based on the second log, a cause for the software patch install failure;
- determine a series of steps to remedy the cause;
- and
- perform the series of steps to remedy the cause.
A method comprising:
- storing, by a memory, a plurality of conversion rules;
- receiving, by a hardware processor communicatively coupled to the memory, a first log from a server, the first log indicating that the server attempted to install a software patch;
- converting, by the processor, based on the plurality of conversion rules, the first log into a different format to produce a second log;
- determining, by the processor, based on the second log, that the software patch install failed;
- determining, by the processor, based on the second log, a cause for the software patch install failure;
- determining, by the processor, a series of steps to remedy the cause;
- and
- performing, by the processor, the series of steps to remedy the cause.
A system comprising:
- a plurality of servers;
- and
- a security tool comprising a memory and a hardware processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the memory configured to store a plurality of conversion rules, the hardware processor configured to:
- receive a first log from a server of the plurality of servers, the first log indicating that the server attempted to install a software patch;
- convert, based on the plurality of conversion rules, the first log into a different format to produce a second log;
- determine, based on the second log, that the software patch install failed;
- determine, based on the second, a cause for the software patch install failure;
- determine a series of steps to remedy the cause;
- and
- perform the series of steps to remedy the cause.
