Propagating accelerated events in a network management system
First Claim
1. A method of managing a network comprising:
- receiving, at a computing system, a first system event from a monitored system to create a first event item;
receiving, at the computing system, a second system event from the monitored system;
modifying, by the computing system, the first event item based upon the second system event to create a modified event item;
collecting, by the computing system, in database of event items, a batch of event items including the modified event item and not the first event item;
periodically notifying, by the computing system, a client of the batch of event items; and
directly notifying, by the computing system, the client of the modified event item independently of the periodic batch notification if the modified event item satisfies a priority condition, respectively.

Abstract
This invention relates to a method, system and computer program product for a network management system comprising:
a probe for intercepting a system event from a monitored system and creating event items or modifying event items associated with the system events; a collection database server collecting, in database of event items, a batch of new event items or modifications to an existing event items; a client; a replication means for periodically notifying a client of the batch of new event items or event item modification; and an acceleration mechanism for directly notifying the client of a new event item or modified event item independently of the periodic batch notification if the new or modified event item satisfies a priority condition.

6. A network management system comprising:
-
a plurality of processors; a probe, executed on the plurality of processors, for receiving a first system event and a second system event from a monitored system and creating a modified event item based upon a modification of the first system event based upon the second system event; a collection database server, executed on the plurality of processors, collecting, in a database of event items, a batch of event items including the modified event item; a replicator, executed on the plurality of processors, for periodically notifying a client of the batch of event items; and an acceleration mechanism, executed on the plurality of processors, for directly notifying the client of a new event item or the modified event item independently of the periodic batch notification if the new or modified event item satisfies a priority condition, respectively. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A computer program product comprising non-transitory computer readable recording medium having computer readable code stored thereon for a network management system, said computer readable code which when loaded onto a computer system and executed on the computing system performs:
-
intercepting a first system event and a second system event from a monitored system; creating a modified system event item based upon the first and second system events; collecting, in database of event items, a batch of event items including the modified system event item; periodically notifying a client of the batch of event items; and directly notifying the client of a new event item or a modified event item independently of the periodic batch notification if the new or modified event item satisfies a priority condition, respectively. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
