Restarting event and alert analysis after a shutdown in a distributed processing system
First Claim
1. A method of restarting event and alert analysis after a shutdown in a distributed processing system, the method comprising:
- identifying, by an incident analyzer, a shutdown condition of the distributed processing system;
determining, by the incident analyzer, whether the shutdown was a planned shutdown or an unplanned shutdown;
if the shutdown was planned, storing, by the incident analyzer, an identification of the last event in an event log that was injected in an event queue at the time of the planned shutdown and restarting, by the incident analyzer, event and alert analysis using the next event identified in the event log;
if the shutdown was unplanned, identifying, by the incident analyzer, a previously configured restart mode;
selecting, by the incident analyzer, an identification of a restart event in the event log according to the previously configured restart mode, wherein selecting an identification of a restart event in the event log according to a previously configured restart mode further comprises determining, by the incident analyzer, the last event injected in the event queue from the event log, determining the logged time of the last event injected in the event queue, and selecting as the restart event an event logged in the event log a predetermined period of time before the logged time of the last event injected in the event queue; and
restarting, by the incident analyzer, event and alert analysis using the restart event identified in the event log.
