  • Generating runbooks for problem events
    Patent number: 11080121
    Abstract: Generation, by machine logic, of runbooks for problem events. Generation of runbooks including the following operations: receiving operator commands in a command line interface for an event group relating to an issue, wherein the operator commands resolve the issue; and storing the operator commands as related artifacts of the event group with mapping to affected resources. The method may match arguments of the operator commands to event metadata fields of events in the event group to generalize the arguments to the event metadata and to generate a runbook of generalized operator commands for future instances of an event group of a similar type.
