Abstract

Embodiments relate to capturing referenced information in a report to resolve a computer problem. A report for a problem is determined to contain at least one referenced document, the report being generated based on at least one log. Relevant content is determined in the at least one referenced document based at least in part on hint information associated with the at least one referenced document and a term in the report. An enhanced report is generated for the problem of the computer equipment by inserting the relevant content into the report. A problem experienced by computer equipment is resolved by causing execution of at least one operation identified in the enhanced report.

Claims (31)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

determining that a report for a problem contains at least one referenced document, the report being generated based on at least one log;

determining relevant content in the at least one referenced document based at least in part on hint information associated with the at least one referenced document and a term in the report, wherein determining the relevant content in the at least one referenced document is based at least in part on clipboard information associated with the at least one referenced document;

generating an enhanced report for the problem by inserting the relevant content into the report; and

resolving the problem experienced by computer equipment by causing execution of at least one operation identified in the enhanced report.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the enhanced report relates to a type of the problem experienced by the computer equipment.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein determining the relevant content in the at least one referenced document is based at least in part on gaze information associated with the at least one referenced document.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the relevant content is copied from the at least one referenced document.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the enhanced report comprises the relevant content.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one operation in the enhanced report comprises a computer-executable solution to the problem of the computer equipment.

7. A system comprising:

a memory having computer readable instructions; and

one or more processors for executing the computer readable instructions, the computer readable instructions controlling the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

determining that a report for a problem contains at least one referenced document, the report being generated based on at least one log;

determining relevant content in the at least one referenced document based at least in part on hint information associated with the at least one referenced document and a term in the report, wherein determining the relevant content in the at least one referenced document is based at least in part on clipboard information associated with the at least one referenced document;

generating an enhanced report for the problem by inserting the relevant content into the report; and

resolving the problem experienced by computer equipment by causing execution of at least one operation identified in the enhanced report.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the enhanced report relates to a type of the problem experienced by the computer equipment.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein determining the relevant content in the at least one referenced document is based at least in part on gaze information associated with the at least one referenced document.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the relevant content is copied from the at least one referenced document.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the enhanced report comprises the relevant content.

12. The system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one operation in the enhanced report comprises a computer-executable solution to the problem of the computer equipment.

13. A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

determining that a report for a problem contains at least one referenced document, the report being generated based on at least one log;

determining relevant content in the at least one referenced document based at least in part on hint information associated with the at least one referenced document and a term in the report, wherein determining the relevant content in the at least one referenced document is based at least in part on clipboard information associated with the at least one referenced document;

generating an enhanced report for the problem by inserting the relevant content into the report; and

resolving the problem experienced by computer equipment by causing execution of at least one operation identified in the enhanced report.

14. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the enhanced report relates to a type of the problem experienced by the computer equipment.

15. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein determining the relevant content in the at least one referenced document is based at least in part on gaze information associated with the at least one referenced document.

16. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the relevant content is copied from the at least one referenced document.

17. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the enhanced report comprises the relevant content.
