1. A method for reporting an alert condition, comprising:
- defining alert filter criteria, wherein a particular alert filter criterion is associated with one or more of a plurality of interest group identifiers;
identifying an alert condition;
determining an urgency level, a severity level, and at least one interest group identifier associated with the alert condition;
identifying at least one alert filter criterion associated with the at least one determined interest group identifier;
determining whether the alert condition satisfies the at least one identified alert filter criterion, the determination based at least in part on the urgency level or the severity level; and
if the alert condition satisfies the at least one identified alert filter criterion, reporting the alert condition.

Abstract
A method for reporting alert conditions is disclosed which includes defining alert filter criteria, identifying an alert condition, analyzing one or more properties of the alert condition based on the alert filter criteria, and determining whether to report the alert condition. Systems and computer-readable storage media for reporting an alert condition are also disclosed.

1. A method for reporting an alert condition, comprising:
-
defining alert filter criteria, wherein a particular alert filter criterion is associated with one or more of a plurality of interest group identifiers; identifying an alert condition; determining an urgency level, a severity level, and at least one interest group identifier associated with the alert condition; identifying at least one alert filter criterion associated with the at least one determined interest group identifier; determining whether the alert condition satisfies the at least one identified alert filter criterion, the determination based at least in part on the urgency level or the severity level; and if the alert condition satisfies the at least one identified alert filter criterion, reporting the alert condition. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

8. A system for reporting an alert condition, comprising:
-
a filter criteria maintenance module operable to maintain alert filter criteria, wherein a particular alert filter criterion is associated with one or more of a plurality of interest group identifiers; an alert condition detector operable to; identify at least one alert condition; and determine an urgency level, a severity level, and at least one interest group identifier associated with the at least one alert condition; an alert condition filter operable to; identify at least one alert filter criterion associated with the at least one interest group identifier; and determine whether the at least one alert condition satisfies the at least one identified alert filter criterion, the determination based at least in part on the urgency level or the severity level; and an alert notification module that is operable to report the at least one alert condition if the at least one alert condition satisfies the at least one identified alert filter criterion. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system for reporting an alert condition, comprising:
-
means for maintaining alert filter criteria, wherein a particular alert filter criterion is associated with one or more of a plurality of interest group identifiers; means for identifying at least one alert condition and determining an urgency level, a severity level, and at least one interest group identifier associated with the at least one alert condition; means for identifying at least one alert filter criterion associated with the at least one determined interest group identifier and determining whether the at least one alert condition satisfies the identified alert filter criterion; and means for reporting the at least one alert condition if the at least one alert condition satisfies the at least one identified alert filter criterion.

16. Logic embodied in a computer readable medium, the logic operable, when executed, to:
-
define alert filter criteria, wherein a particular alert filter criterion is associated with one or more of a plurality of interest group identifiers; identify an alert condition; determine an urgency level, a severity level, and at least one interest group identifier associated with the alert condition; identify at least one alert filter criterion associated with the at least one determined interest group identifier; determine whether the alert condition satisfies the at least one identified alert filter criterion, the determination based at least in part on the urgency level or the severity level; and if the alert condition satisfies the at least one identified alert filter criterion, report the alert condition.

17. A method for reporting an alert condition, comprising:
-
defining alert filter criteria, wherein a particular alert filter criterion is associated with one or more of a plurality of interest group identifiers; identifying an alert condition; determining an importance level, a severity level, and at least one interest group identifier associated with the alert condition; identifying at least one alert filter criterion associated with the at least one determined interest group identifier; determining whether the alert condition satisfies the at least one identified alert filter criterion, the determination based at least in part on the importance level or the severity level; and if the alert condition satisfies the at least one identified alert filter criterion, reporting the alert condition. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
