US Patent 10592328 Using cluster processing to identify sets of similarly failing hosts

Data, attributes, and metrics from unavailable resource hosts may be collected and used for cluster analysis in order to correlate the different hosts and group similar hosts into clusters. The clusters may be ranked based on the collected information and used to provide a simple way to identify shared failure modes among the unavailable hosts. By identifying the hosts of each cluster, shared failures can be corrected for large groups of hosts at the same time, enabling the hosts to return to operational states.
