Health and Status Monitoring
Posted by Robert Grossman in Best Practices, Blog, analytics on November 29, 2009
Service interruptions of digital systems can inconvenience millions of people and have a significant financial impact on the provider. If the Amazon web site, or Google’s Gmail, or the Visa payments network goes down even for a few minutes, it can make front page news.
As digital systems grow larger and more complex, it can become very challenging to monitor their health and status, which is the first step in detecting potential problems, identifying the root causes, and taking appropriate preventive actions. These types of systems can contain thousands of different data feeds, data flows and processes. A problem with just one of them can interrupt payments, ads, and status updates, respectively. Often there are hourly, daily, weekly and seasonal variations in the data that complicates the detection of problems.
Announcing PMML 4.0 compliant Augustus
September 2009
Augustus, an open source analytic scoring engine that works with segmented models is compliant with the PMML 4 standard recently adopted. Augustus is designed for use with statistical and data mining models. The new release provides Baseline, Tree and Naive-Bayes producers and consumers. The new release, training, documentation and support can be found at our Google Code project, http://code.google.com/p/augustus/
Augustus is typically used to construct models and score data with models. Augustus includes a dedicated application for creating, or producing, predictive models rendered as PMML-compliant files. Scoring is accomplished by consuming PMML-compliant files describing an appropriate model. The typical model development and use cycle with Augustus is as follows:
- Identify suitable data with which to construct a new model.
- Provide a model schema which proscribes the requirements for the model.
- Run the Augustus producer to obtain a new model.
- Run the Augustus consumer on new data to effect scoring.
