Systems and methods for classifying and analyzing runtime events

Abstract

A system may be able classify events that occur during the runtime of applications (e.g., exceptions). The system may receive an indication of the event and may classify the event based on a comparison with elements of a classification data structure. The classification data structure may be a hierarchical data structure, and child elements may inherit characteristics from parent elements. Based on the classification, the system may perform one or more actions, which may be specified by the elements of the data structure. For example, the system may provide notifications to administrators and/or user, may attempt to recover from the event, and/or the like. Each event may be associated with a unique identifier so the user can more easily identify the event to support personnel. The system may include analysis tools to assist administrators in tracking events and identifying which events are most important.
