Abstract
A system architecture and a method for managing using a cellular architecture to allow multi-tier management of events such as the managing of the actual impact or the potential impact of IT infrastructure situations on business services. A preferred embodiment includes a high availability management backbone to frame monitoring operations using a cross-domain model where IT component events are abstracted into IT Aggregate events. By combining IT Aggregate events with transaction events, an operational representation of the business services is possible. Another feature is the ability to connect this information to dependent business user groups such as internal end-users or external customers for direct impact measurement. A web of peer-to-peer rule-based cellular event processors preferably using Dynamic Data Association constitutes management backbone crossed by event flows, the execution rules, and distributed set of dynamic inter-related object data rooted in the top data instances featuring the business services.

33. A method of monitoring a business service implemented on an infrastructure having a plurality of components and a plurality of detectors, comprising:
-
distributing a plurality of processing cells throughout the components of the infrastructure;
configuring the processing cells to handle events related to the business service with other processing cells;
collecting events related to the business service from one or more of the detectors with one or more of the processing cells;
organizing the collected events with one or more of the processing cells; and

-
distributing a plurality of processing cells throughout the components of the infrastructure;
configuring the processing cells to handle events related to the business service with other processing cells;
implementing a sample transaction associated with the business service with at least one of the processing cells;
collecting events resulting from the sample transaction from one or more of the detectors with one or more of the processing cells;
organizing the collected events with one or more of the processing cells; and
determining an impact the organized events have on the business service. - View Dependent Claims (48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66)
