Abstract
Methods and systems for managing a data processing system are disclosed. A data processing system may detect one or more actions being taken by a user to resolve a current or predicted issue of the data processing system. Based on the detection, the data processing system may generate predictive implications to notify and/or alert the user of the implications (e.g., consequences) of these actions. These predictive implications may be used (e.g., by the user or by the data processing system itself) to advantageously prevent further, uninformed and unintended, complications to the data processing system.
Claims20
A method for managing a data processing system, the method comprising:
- determining occurrence of one or more trigger events, the one or more trigger events being associated with an incident associated with the data processing system;
- generating, in response to the determination, a user action implication report, the user action implication report comprising one or more actions that can be taken by the user to resolve the incident and one or more implications associated with each of the one or more actions, each of the one or more implications specifying what would happen to the data processing system should a user execute each of the one or more actions, wherein the one or more trigger events comprise a detection, by the data processing system and before the user action implication report is generated, that the user is about to perform at least one of the one or more actions;
- and
- providing the user action implication report to the user of the data processing system to prevent execution, by the user and in response to an attempt by the user to resolve the incident, of an action among the one or more actions associated with a negative one of the one or more implications to the data processing system.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations for managing a data processing system, the operations comprising:
- determining occurrence of one or more trigger events, the one or more trigger events being associated with an incident associated with the data processing system;
- generating, in response to the determination, a user action implication report, the user action implication report comprising one or more actions that can be taken by the user to resolve the incident and one or more implications associated with each of the one or more actions, each of the one or more implications specifying what would happen to the data processing system should a user execute each of the one or more actions, wherein the one or more trigger events comprise a detection, by the data processing system and before the user action implication report is generated, that the user is about to perform at least one of the one or more actions;
- and
- providing the user action implication report to the user of the data processing system to prevent execution, by the user and in response to an attempt by the user to resolve the incident, of an action among the one or more actions associated with a negative one of the one or more implications to the data processing system.
A data processing system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor to store instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations for managing a data processing system, the operations comprising:
- determining occurrence of one or more trigger events, the one or more trigger events being associated with an incident associated with the data processing system;
- generating, in response to the determination, a user action implication report, the user action implication report comprising one or more actions that can be taken by the user to resolve the incident and one or more implications associated with each of the one or more actions, each of the one or more implications specifying what would happen to the data processing system should a user execute each of the one or more actions, wherein the one or more trigger events comprise a detection, by the data processing system and before the user action implication report is generated, that the user is about to perform at least one of the one or more actions;
- and
- providing the user action implication report to the user of the data processing system to prevent execution, by the user and in response to an attempt by the user to resolve the incident, of an action among the one or more actions associated with a negative one of the one or more implications to the data processing system.
