US 2022/0027199 A1 · EARLY IDENTIFICATION OF PROBLEMS IN EXECUTION OF BACKGROUND PROCESSES

Abstract

An aspect of the present disclosure facilitates early identification of problems in execution of background processes. In one embodiment, a digital processing system characterizes the consumption of multiple resources during normal prior executions of a background process and determines a baseline pattern of consumption of resources for the background process. The system then monitors a current pattern of consumption of the resources during a current execution of the background process, and checks whether the current pattern of consumption has a deviation from the baseline pattern of consumption. The system notifies a potential problem with the current execution of the background process if a deviation is determined to exist. The notifications enable a user to get an early indication of potential problems during the execution of the background process itself.

Dependent claims

A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing one or more sequences of instructions for early identification of problems in execution of background processes, wherein execution of said one or more instructions by one or more processors contained in a digital processing system causes said digital processing system to perform the actions of:

characterizing the consumption of a plurality of resources during normal prior executions of a background process, wherein said characterizing determines a baseline pattern of consumption of said plurality of resources for said background process;
monitoring a current pattern of consumption of said plurality of resources during a current execution of said background process;
checking whether said current pattern of consumption has a deviation from said baseline pattern of consumption;
and
notifying a potential problem with said current execution of said background process if said checking determines that said deviation exists.

2 more elements

A method for early identification of problems in execution of background processes, the method comprising:

characterizing the consumption of a plurality of resources during normal prior executions of a background process, wherein said characterizing determines a baseline pattern of consumption of said plurality of resources for said background process;
monitoring a current pattern of consumption of said plurality of resources during a current execution of said background process;
checking whether said current pattern of consumption has a deviation from said baseline pattern of consumption;
and
notifying a potential problem with said current execution of said background process if said checking determines that said deviation exists.

2 more elements

A digital processing system comprising:

a random access memory (RAM) to store instructions;
and
one or more processors to retrieve and execute the instructions, wherein execution of the instructions causes the digital processing system to perform the actions of:
characterizing the consumption of a plurality of resources during normal prior executions of a background process, wherein said characterizing determines a baseline pattern of consumption of said plurality of resources for said background process;
monitoring a current pattern of consumption of said plurality of resources during a current execution of said background process;
checking whether said current pattern of consumption has a deviation from said baseline pattern of consumption;
and
notifying a potential problem with said current execution of said background process if said checking determines that said deviation exists.
