Abstract
A method for accumulating fault condition data from a hierarchical system is presented comprising monitoring an operation of a component with a computing node that includes a processor and a memory. The memory contains a configuration file comprising failure modes (FM), symptoms, tests that identify the symptoms and a corrective action for the symptom. The method further comprises populating at least one of the processor and the memory of the computing node with one or more standardized executable application modules (SEAM) and a workflow service. The one or more SEAMS is configured to create a fault condition record by collecting all FMs that manifest the symptom. For all FMs collected, a list of unique symptoms is produced. Further all tests that can identify the listed unique symptoms and all of the corrective actions associated with the FMs that manifest the symptom are determined from the memory device.
