Development of a Knowledge Base System for Administration of the NRC “Kurchatov Institute”—IHEP Computing Center Based on Linux History Tools

Computer administration of complex computing systems and distributed computing clusters presents significant challenges. Each sophisticated computer system has unique architecture and software configurations. Long-term system administration of such environments includes daily execution of various server commands - both for troubleshooting and for monitoring system behavior under different operational loads. These accumulated commands can be transformed into a valuable knowledge base for future use. This paper describes the development of such knowledge management system using Linux history tools at NRC “Kurchatov Institute”—IHEP.
