1. A computer-implemented method comprising steps of:

  • generating a virtual process identifier for a process within a given network, wherein the virtual process identifier is based at least in part on multiple items of process-related information;

    associating the virtual process identifier with one or more types of events to be carried out within the given network in connection with the process;

    filtering repetitive events from a set of processed events carried out in connection with the process, wherein filtering the repetitive events comprises identifying multiple instances of the virtual process identifier associated with multiple instances of the same type of event; and

    reporting, to at least one server, the processed events remaining subsequent to the filtering step;

    wherein the steps are performed by at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory.
