Intelligent score-based log collection optimizing mechanism

Abstract

Methods, system, and non-transitory processor-readable storage medium for a log collection optimization system are provided herein. An example method includes monitoring, by a system status monitoring module, at least one system status associated with an information system, where the information system comprises a plurality of system components. A system anomaly detection module determines a system score for the information system, based on a dynamic weighted calculation and an average performance evaluation. The system score facilitates predicting an impending error before the error occurs on the information system. A target component assignment module determines a plurality of targeted components that require log collection based on the system score, wherein the plurality of system components comprises the plurality of targeted components. A log collection module invokes system log collection from the targeted components to initiate the system log collection before the error occurs on the information system.
