Abstract
An integrity management system predicts abnormalities in complex systems before they occur based upon the prior history of abnormalities within the complex system. A topology of the nodes of a complex system is generated and data is collected from the system based on predetermined metrics. In combination with dynamic thresholding, fingerprints of the relevant nodes within a complex system at various time intervals prior to the occurrence of the abnormality are captured and weighted. The fingerprints can then be applied to real-time data provide alerts of potential abnormality prior to their actual occurrence.
Claims34
An integrity management system comprising, in combination:
- a topology mapping module for mapping a topology of nodes;
- a data collector;
- an event prediction module that provides at least one heuristic describing a state of the system prior to an event;
- and
- a resolutions module for providing a notice of a potential occurrence of an event prior to the actual occurrence of the event;
- and
- wherein data is collected from the topology of nodes by the data collector and compared to the at least one heuristic to provide a probability that the event will occur;
- and
- wherein if the probability crosses a threshold value, the resolutions module provides the notice.
