Abstract
Embodiments are directed to predicting the health of a computer node using health report data and to proactively handling failures in computer network nodes. In an embodiment, a computer system monitors various health indicators for multiple nodes in a computer network. The computer system accesses stored health indicators that provide a health history for the computer network nodes. The computer system then generates a health status based on the monitored health factors and the health history. The generated health status indicates the likelihood that the node will be healthy within a specified future time period. The computer system then leverages the generated health status to handle current or predicted failures. The computer system also presents the generated health status to a user or other entity.
