US Patent 11860724 Method and system for facilitating a self-healing network

An event analysis system is provided. During operation, the system can determine an event description associated with the switch from an event log of the switch. The event description can correspond to an entry in a table in a switch configuration database of the switch. A respective database in the switch can be a relational database. The system can then obtain an event log segment, which is a portion of the event log, comprising the event description based on a range of entries. Subsequently, the system can apply a pattern recognition technique on the event log segment based on the entry in the switch configuration database to determine one or more patterns corresponding to an event associated with the event description. The switch can then apply a machine learning technique using the one or more patterns to determine a recovery action for mitigating the event.
