Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to alert management and provide a method, system and computer program product for adaptive alert management. In one embodiment of the invention, an adaptive alert management data processing system can include an alert server and multiple different alert monitors disposed in corresponding application hosts. Each of the alert monitors can be configured to establish a subscription to the alert server on behalf of at least one application view of an application issuing alerts. Finally, the system can include multiple different filter rules accessible by the alert server. Each of the filter rules can specify whether or not to suppress or display an alert received in the alert server. The system further can include a data store of ratings previously applied to an alert, an established predictive rating for a target user for a received alert, and predictive alert filter logic enabled to refine the predictive rating for the received alert based upon ratings applied by a plurality of application users to the received alert in the data store.
