Abstract

A system, method, and computer-readable medium for enhancing troubleshoot log analysis. More specifically, in certain embodiments, a management suite error log analysis system enables users, including engineers and technical support personnel to quickly and effectively determine a root cause of an error and to suggest possible solutions to the error.

Claims (39)

1. A computer-implementable method for determining a root cause of an error within an integration environment, comprising:

providing the integration environment with a remote access controller, the remote access controller executing a management application suite, the management application suite comprising an OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter;

determining the root cause of the error via a management suite error log analysis module, the determining the root cause further comprising modifying an error log within the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter; and,

suggesting possible solutions to the error via the management suite error log analysis module.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the error log comprises a management suite error log; and,

the management suite error log is modified to include a Hierarchical Stack Trace along with error messages.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating an error analysis table based upon analysis of an error log of the integration environment; and wherein

the determining the root cause of the error is based upon the error analysis table.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the determining a root cause of the error comprises performing an error analysis operation, the error analysis operation comprising at least one of an analyze version operation, an analyze connection operation, an analyze deployment operation, an analyze compliance operation; an analyze Firmware Update operation; an analyze Registration operation; an analyze RPM Update operation; an analyze Backup/Restore operation; an analyze License operation; an analyze Certification operation; an analyze Web Client operation; an analyze Desktop Client operation; and an analyze Bundle Log operation.

5. A system comprising:

a processor;

a data bus coupled to the processor; and

a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium being coupled to the data bus, the computer program code interacting with a plurality of computer operations and comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:

providing the integration environment with a remote access controller, the remote access controller executing a management application suite, the management application suite comprising an OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter;

determining the root cause of the error via a management suite error log analysis module, the determining the root cause further comprising modifying an error log within the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter; and,

suggesting possible solutions to the error via the management suite error log analysis module.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein:

the error log comprises a management suite error log; and,

the management suite error log is modified to include a Hierarchical Stack Trace along with error messages.

7. The system of claim 5 , the computer program code further comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:

generating an error analysis table based upon analysis of an error log of the integration environment; and wherein

the determining the root cause of the error is based upon the error analysis table.

8. The system of claim 5 , wherein:

the determining a root cause of the error comprises performing an error analysis operation, the error analysis operation comprising at least one of an analyze version operation, an analyze connection operation, an analyze deployment operation, an analyze compliance operation; an analyze Firmware Update operation; an analyze Registration operation; an analyze RPM Update operation; an analyze Backup/Restore operation; an analyze License operation; an analyze Certification operation; an analyze Web Client operation; an analyze Desktop Client operation; and an analyze Bundle Log operation.

9. A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the computer program code comprising computer executable instructions configured for:

providing the integration environment with a remote access controller, the remote access controller executing a management application suite, the management application suite comprising an OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter;

determining the root cause of the error via a management suite error log analysis module, the determining the root cause further comprising modifying an error log within the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter; and,

suggesting possible solutions to the error via the management suite error log analysis module.

10. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein:

the error log comprises a management suite error log; and,

the management suite error log is modified to include a Hierarchical Stack Trace along with error messages.

11. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , the computer program code further comprising computer executable instructions configured for:

generating an error analysis table based upon analysis of an error log of the integration environment; and wherein

the determining the root cause of the error is based upon the error analysis table.

12. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein:

the determining a root cause of the error comprises performing an error analysis operation, the error analysis operation comprising at least one of an analyze version operation, an analyze connection operation, an analyze deployment operation, an analyze compliance operation; an analyze Firmware Update operation; an analyze Registration operation; an analyze RPM Update operation; an analyze Backup/Restore operation; an analyze License operation; an analyze Certification operation; an analyze Web Client operation; an analyze Desktop Client operation; and an analyze Bundle Log operation.
