A system and method for performing event analysis includes a plurality of logical components (), each communicatively coupled to at least one other of the plurality of components. A transformer () receives from one or more of the logical components, one or more status messages describing a system state to form received status messages and transforms the received status messages into at least one transformed message such that the transformed message has at least one new substring which is not common with the received status messages. A processor () is coupled to the transformer () that receives one or more rules () and applies the one or more rules () to the one or more transformed status messages and an output () outputs at least one of a new rule and a new event.

Identification of relevant metrics

A remote monitor technique based on a client/server model is provided for a distributed computing system having a plurality of computing nodes. The remote monitor includes a server application for collecting jobs information on jobs in a queue of the system and a client application for presenting or employing the jobs information. The client application can display the jobs information in a single display window comprising multiple subwindows for various characteristics of the jobs information. Jobs information displayed by the client application can be periodically refreshed. The remote monitor enables a user to monitor in detail jobs of a state defined by the user. The remote monitor can also track usage of preselected filesystems and automatically trims filesystems if usage is higher than a defined threshold.

In-queue jobs information monitoring and filtering

A test automation tool is provided which is operable to integrate a set of dynamic attributes and values into tests to be performed on a computing environment. The test automation tool includes a job submission engine (JSE) operable to receive input regarding first attributes unchanged from a first computing environment and second attributes representing change from the first computing environment. A job control file generator (JCFG) is provided in electronic communication with the job submission engine and is operable to automatically generate job control files (JCFs) for controlling testing of the computing environment according to attribute values including first attribute values and second attribute values. First attribute values are generated based on an automatic sampling of values of first attributes. The JSE is further operable to automatically submit the JCFs to the computing environment for execution and to automatically monitor execution according to the JCFs.
