Abstract
A method (300) for monitoring a data processing system is proposed. The method involves the determination (306–360) of an indicator of the severity of any critical condition being detected in the system (for example, though the use of fuzzy-logic rules). In this way, it is possible to associate (366–381) a desired intensity to a corrective action corresponding to the critical condition; for example, this operation is performed by setting (366) an intensity parameter to the severity indicator, and then updating (369–381) it according to predefined policies, a power factor selected manually, and the feedback of any previous application of the corrective action. The corrective action is then applied (384) by modulating its effects according to the desired intensity.
