Milestone based dynamic multiple watchdog timeouts and early failure detection

摘要

A dynamic, milestone-based solution for managing computer operations, as may be embodied by various systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media, may involve analyzing a computer operation invoked by an invoking module. The solution may involve identifying and classifying discrete steps or phases within the invoked operation and applying context-specific watchdog timers and operational milestones based on the detected phases. The solution may involve monitoring the progress of the operation and terminating the operation when an operational milestone is not achieved before an applied watchdog timer expires during a given phase.
