The present disclosure relates to utilizing a host failure recovery system to efficiently and accurately determine the health of host devices. For example, the host failure recovery system detects when a host server is failing by utilizing a power failure detection model that determines whether a host server is operating in a healthy power state or an unhealthy power state. In particular, the host failure recovery system utilizes a multi-layer power failure detection model that determines power-draw failure events on a host device. The failure detection model determines, with high confidence, the health of a host device based on power-draw signals and/or usage characteristics of the host device. Additionally, the host failure recovery system can initiate a quick recovery of a failing host device.
