Abstract
The disclosure relates generally to autonomous generation of software documentation, and more specifically to autonomous generation of documentation that describes user-defined rules implemented for a computer management system. In one embodiment, a system for generating documentation comprises a database storing user-defined rules that specify management actions to be triggered, for managing a computer system, responsive to receipt of a system message from the managed computer system. The system further comprises a documentation generation device configured to autonomously generate documentation describing the rules, wherein the documentation contains identification of at least the system message and the corresponding management actions triggered by the rules upon receipt of the system message. In certain embodiments, the system further comprises a database utility device configured to generate a highly-structured representation of the user-defined rules from an autoaction database, and the documentation generation device processes the highly-structured representation to autonomously generate the documentation.
