Abstract
A computer program product for prioritizing First Failure Data Capture (FFDC) data for analysis. A processor configured to: identify, by the processor, FFDC data in response to receiving an error message, the FFDC data comprising at least one of: a computer system event which may lead to system failure; a computer system event led to system failure; a computer system condition which may lead to system failure; a computer system condition which led to system failure; determine, by the processor, a relevancy rank for each data value in the FFDC data based on the error message received and a probability a given data value is relevant in resolving a cause of the error message; and send, by the processor, in order of relevancy, the data values of the FFDC data to a second server.
