Method and system for distributed processing of alerts
First Claim
1. A method for alert processing in a distributed computing system that includes a plurality of component machines, the method comprising:
- upon failing to perform an operation by one of the component machines and upon verifying that no alert information regarding the operation is currently stored by that component machine, said one of the component machines performing;
identifying other component machines of the distributed computing system that are peer machines with regard to the operation,sending a notification regarding failure to perform the operation to the peer machines for notifying the peer machines to store alert information regarding the operation,storing the alert information regarding the operation; and
issuing an alert corresponding to the failure to perform the operation.

Abstract
A distributed computing system includes a plurality of intercommunicating component machines. In a method for alert processing, when a component machine fails to perform an operation, and no alert information regarding that operation is currently stored by that component machine, peer machines among the component machines are identified with regard to the operation. Notification is sent to the peer machines regarding failure to perform the operation, notifying the peer machines to store alert information regarding the operation. The component machine stores the alert information regarding the operation and issues an alert corresponding to the failure to perform the operation. A computer readable medium containing executable instructions is also described.

13. A distributed computing system for processing of alerts, the system comprising:
-
a plurality of component machines capable of intercommunication, each component machine including a processor and a computer usable medium connected to the processor, wherein the computer usable medium contains a set of instructions to; upon failing to perform an operation by one of the component machines and upon verifying that no alert information regarding the operation is currently stored by that component machine, said one of the component machines performing; identifying other component machines of the distributed computing system that are peer machines with regard to the operation, sending a notification regarding failure to perform the operation to the peer machines for notifying the peer machines to store alert information regarding the operation, storing the alert information regarding the operation, and issuing an alert corresponding to the failure to perform the operation; and upon successfully performing a previously failed operation by one of the component machines and upon verifying that alert information regarding the previously failed operation is currently stored by that component machine, said one of the component machines performing; identifying other component machines of the distributed computing system that are peer machines with regard to the previously failed operation, sending a notification regarding the successful performance of the previously failed operation to the peer machines for notifying the peer machines to delete stored alert information regarding the previously failed operation, deleting the currently stored alert information regarding the previously failed operation, and clearing the alert; and an administration console capable of communicating with said plurality of component machines, the administration console including a user interface via which an issued alert may be displayed. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
