Abstract
Methods and systems for managing data processing systems are disclosed. A data processing system may include and depend on the operation of hardware and/or software components. To manage the operation of the data processing system, a data processing system manager may obtain logs for components of the data processing system. Inference models may be implemented to predict likely future component failures (e.g., failure sequences) and their associated times-to-failures using information recorded in the logs. The failure sequences may be presented as an acyclic graph that associates component failures, their times-to-failure, and related actions. The probable failure sequences may be analyzed to identify sets of actions. The sets of actions may be optimized based on deviations detected during executing the sets of actions to optimize operational goals (e.g., maximizing system lifetime, minimizing system costs), and/or reduce the likelihood of the data processing system becoming impaired.
