ABSTRACT:
A method and system for computer assisted automatic error detection and diagnosis of file servers. Software modules periodically and continuously review monitoring statistics gathered by the file server regarding its operation. The monitoring statistics are processed by a pattern matching system and a rule-based inference system. Software modules augment known network protocols, by manipulating parameters of lower-level protocols using different higher-level protocols. Using the higher-level protocols, software modules determine if the selected parameters for the lower-level protocols are correct. Software modules track hardware and software configuration changes to the file server, and relate changes in known monitoring statistics to timing of those hardware and software configuration changes.
