The present invention is directed to a method and system for use in a
computing environment to monitor parameters and detect abnormalities. A
monitoring system for monitoring a process may include a signature
creation module for creating a signature representative of the process, a
signature updating module for continuously updating the created
signature, and an abnormality detection module for detecting
abnormalities based upon deviations from the updated signature. The
system may perform a method for detecting abnormalities occurring during
a process based upon the continuously updated signature representative of
the process. The method may include continuously monitoring a system
parameter and computing a normal range of values for the system parameter
based on the continuously updated signature. The method may additionally
include determining if the monitored system parameter is within the
normal range and indicating existence of an abnormality if the monitored
system parameter is outside of the normal range.
