Abstract
A method for detecting hardware and/or software anomalies in remote systems. The method may include aggregating, in a centralized electronic database, by an electronic database server, data received via a network from each of the remote systems, the data relating to operating statistics of one or more subcomponents of the remote systems over time. The method may also include utilizing an electronic database client communicatively coupled to the centralized database to automatically periodically access and analyze data stored in the centralized database to identify anomalies in hardware and/or software components of the remote systems. In one embodiment, the data relating to operating statistics of the subcomponents may include data from statistics counters corresponding to the subcomponents, each statistics counter, in one state, indicative of an identifiable error. In this regard, analyzing data stored in the centralized database may involve comparing data from the statistics counters to identify the anomalies.
