Abstract
A method, system, and media for monitoring and healing a computing system. Monitoring agents are deployed to a computing system to be monitored. The monitoring agents collect performance and non-performance counter data of computing devices in the computing system. The data include any recordable information about the monitored computing system. The data is stored in a performance database. A master controller monitors the data for an occurrence of an alert condition that indicates degradation in the health of the computing system. The health of the computing system includes the health of the system, individual components therein, and interactions with other systems. The master controller performs a resolution process to resolve issues causing degradation of the computing system. The collection of data and the monitoring thereof is customizable for an individual computing device, for a cluster of computing devices, or for the computing system as a whole.
