1. A system, comprising:
- a processor;
an event manager executable by the processor to;
identify computing resources to be deployed;
receive an identification of a correlation pattern comprising a set of the resources to be deployed;
assign a correlation identifier to the correlation pattern; and
configure each resource of the correlation pattern to include the correlation identifier with a fault event packet generated by the respective resource, the event manager configured to reduce a quantity of fault events to assess based on the correlation identifier; and
a deployment engine executable by the processor to discover a topology of a computing environment and deploy the resources in the computing environment.

Abstract
A system and technique for correlating computing network events includes an event manager executable by a processor to identify computing resources to be deployed. An identification of a correlation pattern comprising a set of the resources to be deployed is received. A correlation identifier is assigned to the correlation pattern. Each resource of the correlation pattern is configured to include the correlation identifier with an event generated by the respective resource.

7. A computer program product for correlating computing network events, the computer program product comprising:
a non-transitory computer readable medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising computer readable program code configured to; identify computing resources to be deployed; receive an identification of a correlation pattern comprising a set of the resources to be deployed; assign a correlation identifier to the correlation pattern; configure each resource of the correlation pattern to include the correlation identifier with a fault event packet generated by the respective resource, the correlation identifier usable to reduce a quantity of fault events to assess; discover a topology of a computing environment; and deploy the resources in the computing environment. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method, comprising:
-
discovering a topology of a computing environment; deploying various resources in the computing environment; receiving an alert of a first fault event; identifying a first resource of the deployed resources associated with the first fault event; receiving an alert of a second fault event; identifying a second resource of the deployed resources associated with the second fault event; searching a database of stored resource sets for the first and second resources, each resource set indicating the resources deployed in the computing environment according to a deployment template, the deployment template defining resources provisioned for a computing service; determining whether the first and second resources belong to a common resource set; and responsive to determining that the first and second resources belong to the common resource set, reducing a quantity of fault events to assess by correlating the first and second fault events. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
