10. A system for monitoring objects within an information technological (IT) network having monitored nodes in which monitoring-relevant events occur and a message processor,
wherein agents are associated with the monitored nodes and generate event-related messages comprising a message key and a message relation key; - and
wherein the message processor compares the message relation key with the message key of another message and processes the other message depending on the result of the comparison. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25)

24. A computer program product including program code for execution on a network having monitored nodes in which monitoring-relevant events occur, said program code generates event-related messages comprising a message key and a message relation key for a comparison of the message relation key with the message key of another message,
wherein the message key and the message relation key are generated according to key patterns which can be defined on the basis of a set of pattern definition rules, and wherein both the message key pattern and the message relation key pattern are defined on the basis of the same set of pattern definition rules.
