1. A method for providing error data processing having user-defined parameters, comprising:
- applying user-defined error thresholds to a plurality of user-definable error threshold rules;
processing error events of a same type, including detecting a plurality of errors from a source and calculating a time period between the plurality of errors;
storing information related to the processed error events;
determining when one of the plurality of user-definable error threshold rules has been satisfied based on the stored information, including determining that the detected plurality of errors satisfies a user-defined error dispersion index number, wherein the error dispersion index is the number of errors in half of the time period between errors of the same type; and
reaching the user-defined error dispersion index number a user-defined number of times consecutively in the same time period between errors of the same type.

Abstract
A method, apparatus and program storage device for providing control of statistical processing of error data over a multitude of sources using a dynamically modifiable DFT rule set is disclosed. The dispersion frame technique is extended in the present invention to provide dispersion frame rules with user-defined parameters thereby creating a dynamically modifiable rule set.
