Abstract
A method for diagnosing faults in a computer-based system. A log of errors of different kinds that have been recorded in the system is read, and errors of those kinds that are relevant to one or more predetermined types of faults that can occur in the system are selected from the log. The selected errors are filtered so as to compose one or more events, each event comprising one or more occurrences of one or more of the relevant kinds of the errors. The composed events are analyzed to reach an assessment that at least one of the predetermined types of faults has occurred.
