  • Enhanced diagnostic and remediation system
    Patent number: 10379929
    Abstract: Aspects of systems and methods for providing an enhanced diagnostic and remediation system are discussed herein. The enhanced diagnostic and remediation system enables a user to monitor a computing system/framework for interruptions or other issues that impact the accessibility of the computing system/framework. When an interruption occurs at the monitored computing system/framework, the enhanced diagnostic and remediation system sends an alert communication to the user. In response, the user communicates with the enhanced diagnostic and remediation system to diagnose and remediate the interruption. Thus, the user is able to efficiently address the interruption that impacts accessibility of the computing system/framework.
