Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes evaluating event history information for each of one or more events associated with a hardware entity against a symptom rule, the symptom rule defining a validity state of a diagnosis. The method also includes identifying contextual information by receiving and inspecting the event history information in response to the symptom rule being satisfied and the diagnosis being validated. An indication of the validity state of the diagnosis is sent to at least one subscriber that has requested a subscription specifically for the diagnosis.
