Configurable alert delivery for reducing the amount of alerts transmitted in a distributed processing system
First Claim
1. A system for configurable alert delivery in a distributed processing system, the system comprising a computer processor, a computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, the computer memory having disposed within it computer program instructions capable, when executed by the computer processor, of causing the system to carry out the steps of:
- for each alert generated by an incident analyzer, applying, by the incident analyzer, active alert filters to the alert;
wherein applying the active alert filters to the alert includes;
creating, by the incident analyzer, a list of all active alert filters and a set of all active listeners; and
for each active alert filter, running, by the incident analyzer, the active alert filter;
if the active alert filter indicates that the alert should not go to one or more of the active listeners, removing, by the incident analyzer, the one or more active listeners from the set of all active listeners;
if the active listeners set is empty, stopping, by the incident analyzer, processing of the alert; and
if the active listeners set is not empty, selecting, by the incident analyzer, the next active alert filter from the active alert filter list.

7. A computer program product for configurable alert delivery in a distributed processing system, the computer program product disposed upon a non-transmission computer readable storage medium, wherein the non-transmission computer readable storage medium is not a signal, the computer program product comprising computer program instructions for:
for each alert generated by an incident analyzer, applying, by the incident analyzer, active alert filters to the alert;
wherein applying the active alert filters to the alert includes;creating, by the incident analyzer, a list of all active alert filters and a set of all active listeners; and for each active alert filter, running, by the incident analyzer, the active alert filter; if the active alert filter indicates that the alert should not go to one or more of the active listeners, removing, by the incident analyzer, the one or more active listeners from the set of all active listeners; if the active listeners set is empty, stopping, by the incident analyzer, processing of the alert; and if the active listeners set is not empty, selecting, by the incident analyzer, the next active alert filter from the active alert filter list. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
