US Patent:

Filed:

May 4, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/849145

Inventors:

Kenneth Mark Hunsinger - Raleigh NC, US
Patrick P. Reynolds - Morrisville NC, US
Abdolreza Salahshour - Raleigh NC, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F003/00
G06F009/44
G06F009/46
G06F013/00

US Classification:

719318, 709223

Abstract:

Methods, systems, computer program products, and methods of doing business by automatically and dynamically annotating events in an event management system (“EMS”) to adapt to capabilities of a management system of which the EMS is an integral part. Furthermore, the EMS may automatically and dynamically recycle existing events (including events which are already annotated) for processing with newly-defined or different EMS capabilities. Events may also be re-annotated to reflect new or different capabilities of the EMS. These benefits of “smart events” are realized without requiring re-instrumentation of the event generation code of managed applications.

Appl. No.:

10/905562

Inventors:

Kenneth M. Hunsinger - Raleigh NC, US
Abdolreza Salahshour - Raleigh NC, US
Michael L. Wamboldt - Garner NC, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 3/00
G06F 9/44
G06F 9/46
G06F 13/00

US Classification:

719318

Abstract:

A method to correlate and consolidate a plurality of events includes consolidating each of the plurality of events to form a multi-personality event. Each event may be emitted from a respective one of a plurality of components forming an event producer in response to an incident affecting the event producer. The method also includes providing the multi-personality event to an event consumer.

Appl. No.:

12/233263

International Classification:

G06F 3/00
G06F 9/44
G06F 9/46

US Classification:

719318

Abstract:

A system to correlate and consolidate a plurality of events includes at least one adapter to correlate and consolidate every one of the plurality of events to form a multi-personality event. Each one of the plurality of events is emitted in response to an incident affecting an event producer. The system also includes a plurality of smart event adapters to correlate and consolidate each of the plurality of events to form the multi-personality event. The multi-personality event includes complete details contained in each event of the plurality of events serially appended to an initial multi-personality event formed by two of the plurality of events. Each remaining event is serially appended the initial multi-personality event.
