  • Patent number: 10102097
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for predicting transaction server performance failure in a transaction processing environment. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for predicting transaction server performance failure in a transaction processing environment is provided. The method includes receiving a performance metric for a transaction server during nominal operation of the transaction server in memory of a computing system and comparing the performance metric to a benchmark of performance metrics for the transaction server. Thereafter, in response to the performance metric falling outside a threshold variance from the benchmark, an alert is generated of a potential impending failure of the transaction server.
    Type: Grant
