Abstract
Embodiments for reducing panic shutdown of components in a pipelined data processing system. Components are monitored for health, processing progress, and dependencies during normal system operation. A directed graph is generated showing non-circular dependencies of components in the pipeline. Deadlock of a particular component may or may not signal a panic condition depending on whether any of its presently downstream and depended on components are operating properly. The continuously monitored knowledge of proper operation of all downstream components is thus used to intelligently apply or defer panic alerts to keep the system operating uninterrupted from panic conditions that might soon or eventually be fixed by continued operation of the system pipeline.
