Abstract
An information handling system (IHS) diagnostic system includes a user IHS that is coupled to a network and operable to generate a log file that is associated with a user IHS error. A distributed processing IHS is coupled to the user IHS through the network and operable to receive the log file generated by the user IHS over the network. That log file is then stored on a plurality of node IHS's in the distributed processing IHS. When a job request is received from the user IHS over the network, a job associated with the job request is performed on the log file using the plurality of node IHS's to create a job result. The job result that includes at least one cause of the user IHS error is then provided to the user IHS.
Claims20
A diagnostic system, comprising:
- a user system that is coupled to a network and configured to generate a first log file;
- and
- a job performance system that is coupled to the user system through the network, wherein the job performance system is configured to:
- receive the first log file;
- remove log data from the first log file that is known to be unnecessary for jobs and place remaining log data from the first log file into predefined locations included in a data structure to create a second log file;
- store the second log file;
- perform a job on the second log file to determine at least one cause of a user system error;
- and
- communicate the at least one cause of the user system error.
An information handling system (IHS), comprising:
- a processing system;
- a memory system that includes instructions that, when executed by the processing system, cause the processing system to:
- receive a first log file;
- remove log data from the first log file that is known to be unnecessary for jobs and place remaining log data from the first log file into predefined locations included in a data structure to create a second log file;
- store the second log file;
- perform a job on the second log file to determine at least one cause of a user system error;
- and
- communicate the at least one cause of the user system error.
A method for diagnosing user system errors, comprising:
- receiving, from a user system, a first log file;
- removing log data from the first log file that is known to be unnecessary for jobs and placing remaining log data from the first log file into predefined locations included in a data structure to create a second log file;
- storing, in a storage system, the second log file;
- performing a job on the second log file to determine at least one cause of a user system error;
- and
- communicating the at least one cause of the user system error.
