Abstract:
A system and method for automating management and repair of a plurality of computing devices located in a data center is disclosed. Health status queries are issued for one or more of the computing devices. If responses not indicative of good device health are received, one or more repair instructions are automatically sent to the unhealthy computing device to repair the computing device by moving it to an acceptable state. If the repair instructions are not successful, a support ticket is automatically generated for the corresponding computing device or devices. Problematic statuses across areas of the data center may be detected and ticketed in addition to individual problematic devices. So-called repeat offender devices may be detected and ticketed even if the repair instructions are successful.
