Log-Based Function Scoring for System Health Visualization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The challenge of managing and visualizing the health and reserve capacity of a system becomes impractical as log data grows with increasing system scale, making it difficult for users to assess system performance effectively.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that extracts actual measurement values from log files, calculates scores based on resource usage and availability, and generates visual representations of these scores to assess system health and reserve capacity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If log data is collected from the system to assess health and reserve capacity, then system monitoring capability is improved, but data processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments log data processing by function, creating separate score calculations for each function based on its specific resource usage. This divides the complex overall system monitoring into manageable functional units, reducing processing complexity while maintaining comprehensive monitoring capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces score values as intermediary metrics that simplify complex log data analysis. Instead of directly analyzing raw resource measurement values, the system converts them into standardized scores that represent function health and reserve capacity, making data processing more manageable.
2Measurement precision
If detailed resource measurement values are analyzed to determine system health, then assessment accuracy is improved, but user workload increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates visual copies of complex resource measurement data through graphs and score representations. Instead of requiring users to directly interpret detailed resource values, the system generates visual score indicators that accurately represent system health status, reducing user workload while maintaining assessment accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms raw resource measurement parameters into standardized score parameters. By changing the parameter representation from detailed resource values to normalized scores, the system maintains precise assessment capability while making the data more accessible and easier for users to interpret.
3Loss of information
If score calculation is performed for each function based on resource usage, then system health visualization is improved, but calculation time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary extraction of resource measurement values from log files before score calculation. By pre-processing and organizing the raw data, the system reduces the computational burden during the actual score calculation phase, maintaining comprehensive health visualization while reducing overall calculation time.
