Abstract

Software systems are increasingly becoming complex both in their functionality and size. Thus, managing such complex software systems manually is becoming tedious, error prone and expensive. Autonomic computing is an emerging new concept in system development, which provides a framework containing the complexity of the software systems by employing self-managing feature of the autonomic computing approach. It can provide self-managing capabilities by leveraging the Common Base Event standard using the adapters of the software applications. However, this requires writing of a separate adapter for each software product running on the system. This, however, is very tedious and time consuming process for system administrator. In order to eliminate the need for writing separate adapter, a Know-How based pattern for generic log adapter has been proposed. The Know-How approach is an evolved component that allows each prospective product vendor to write their own log files in the format required by them, yet be able to seamlessly integrate it in a heterogeneous work environment. A facility is also provided for the generation of rules for identifying the actions to be taken when one or more error log entries are generated by the software system under consideration. The system is intelligent enough to identify the appropriate action routine whenever, one or more symptoms are detected using canonical Left-to-Right parser. Preliminary experimental outputs indicate promising results both in terms of identifying correct action routine and also faster identification of the action to be performed.
