1. A method for identifying a malfunction in operation of a computer infrastructure comprising:
- collecting a first plurality of messages relating to the operation of a plurality of first devices belonging to the computer infrastructure;
collecting a second plurality of messages relating to the operation of a plurality of second devices belonging to the computer infrastructure;
storing, in a data store, the first plurality of messages and the second plurality of messages in a predefined period of time to form an historic data items stored in the data store,correlating, by an analytics engine, the first plurality of messages and the second plurality of messages and producing a system model of at least part of the computer infrastructure, wherein the analytics engine (50) is adapted to identify expected patterns associated within the historic system data items to produce the system model,generating a unified data stream from a third plurality of messages relating to the operation of the computer infrastructure; and
comparing the unified data stream with the system model to generate an exception data indicative of a malfunction.

2. An apparatus for identifying a malfunction in operation of a computer infrastructure comprising:
-
a plurality of first devices belonging to the computer infrastructure and generating a first plurality of messages; a plurality of second devices belonging to the computer infrastructure and generating a second plurality of messages, a data store for storing the first plurality of messages and the second plurality of messages wherein the first plurality of messages and the second plurality of messages in a predefined period of time forms historic data items stored in the data store; and an analytics engine for correlating the first plurality of messages and the second plurality of messages and producing a system model of at least part of the computer infrastructure, wherein the analytics engine is adapted to identify expected patterns associated within the historic system data items to produce the system model and wherein the analytics engine is further adapted to generate a unified data stream from a third plurality of messages relating to the operation of the computer infrastructure and to compare the unified data stream with the system model to generate an exception data indicative of a malfunction. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6)
