  • Patent number: 8290889
    Abstract: A system and method for performing event analysis includes a plurality of logical components (102, 106, 110, 114, 118), each communicatively coupled to at least one other of the plurality of components. A transformer (114) receives from one or more of the logical components, one or more status messages describing a system state to form received status messages and transforms the received status messages into at least one transformed message such that the transformed message has at least one new substring which is not common with the received status messages. A processor (204) is coupled to the transformer (114) that receives one or more rules (104, 108, 112, 116, 120) and applies the one or more rules (104, 108, 112, 116, 120) to the one or more transformed status messages and an output (224) outputs at least one of a new rule and a new event.

  • Publication number: 20080320071
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and program product include an Automatic Testing System for creating a test framework for testing operating system components. The Automatic Testing System resides on a server and includes a master driver which assists in creating test cases and scenarios. The Automatic Testing System issues commands to distribute execution to one or more remote client machines in a cluster through, for instance, an external remote shell program. Results of the command are retrieved, as though it was invoked on the machine directly. The logic and parameters needed to run the test scenarios are stored in a database accessible on the web, and test results are compiled and stored in the database to be sent to any designated test customer.
