Abstract: A computer-implanted method for creating a filtered digital entry includes generating, via a processor implementing a trace generation engine, a trace indicative of successful transactions and erroneous transactions. The processor instantiates a plurality of buffers in a buffer pool each configured to record a trace function boundary. The processor then analyzes each buffer in the buffer pool based on the trace function boundary to evaluate whether each function entry in the trace contains an erroneous transaction. If the processor determines that a function entry contains an erroneous transaction, the processor sets an output flag in a call stack map associated with that function. The processor then generates a filtered digital entry based on the call stack map. The filtered digital entry includes only erroneous transaction data from the trace.

Abstract: An approach is provided for determining whether to reboot a computing node. Data specifying user behaviors and intra-box and inter-box factors associated with computing nodes are collected and classified in groups. Rules corresponding to the groups are generated. Each rule includes an indicator of whether the corresponding group is associated with permitting or not permitting a reboot. Computing node data is received which specifies intra-box and inter-box factors of the computing node and user operations of the computing node. After determining that the computing node data matches one of the groups, it is determined that a rule corresponding to the group includes an indicator of whether the computing node is permitted to be rebooted. Based on the indicator, the computing node is rebooted or not rebooted.

Abstract: A monitoring mechanism is used to detect, via client side monitoring, malfunctions of services within a cloud environment. Additional monitors are activated against the problem-related services in the system. Recursively, the monitored problem-related services act as the client to other services inside the cloud environment and can be used to detect more services which need to be monitored until all the problem-related services are monitored. After the problem is fixed, the monitoring can be disabled automatically or manually.
