ABSTRACT:
A method 201 and implementing system 101 are provided in which information processing system resources are monitored for variant conditions which may exceed acceptable tolerances. A continued count of failed readings is maintained 207 and only when the number of failed condition readings exceed a predetermined failure repetition constant 209, is the operating system notified to take appropriate action. When a resource previously identified as a failing resource, subsequently yields "good" readings 303, a resource identifier is moved from a "failing" status to an "intermittent failure" status 309. Thereafter, when successive "good" readings exceed a predetermined success repetition constant 319, the resource is removed from the "intermittent" status 321 and the monitoring process 201 is continued.
