Prioritized alert delivery in a distributed processing system
First Claim
1. A method of prioritized alert delivery in a distributed processing system, the method comprising:
- receiving, by an incident analyzer, a plurality of events from a plurality of tiered event producing components in a distributed computing system;
identifying, by the incident analyzer, a plurality of potential alerts in dependence upon the events;
wherein each potential alert includes a priority and one or more condition events describing the event producing component creating the event;
comparing, by the incident analyzer, the potential alerts and their condition events and priorities;
identifying, by the incident analyzer, the highest priority potential alert having condition events whose event producing component is in a tier that is higher than the tier of condition events of one or more lower priority potential alerts; and
creating, by the incident analyzer, an alert in dependence upon the identified highest priority potential alert and the condition events corresponding to the identified highest priority potential alert.

8. An apparatus for prioritized 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 apparatus to carry out the steps of:
-
receiving, by an incident analyzer, a plurality of events from a plurality of tiered event producing components in a distributed computing system; identifying, by the incident analyzer, a plurality of potential alerts in dependence upon the events;
wherein each potential alert includes a priority and one or more condition events describing the event producing component creating the event;comparing, by the incident analyzer, the potential alerts and their condition events and priorities; identifying, by the incident analyzer, the highest priority potential alert having condition events whose event producing component is in a tier that is higher than the tier of condition events of one or more lower priority potential alerts; and creating, by the incident analyzer, an alert in dependence upon the identified highest priority potential alert and the condition events corresponding to the identified highest priority potential alert. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer program product for prioritized alert delivery in a distributed processing system, the computer program product disposed upon a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, the computer program product comprising computer program instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to carry out the steps of:
-
receiving, by an incident analyzer, a plurality of events from a plurality of tiered event producing components in a distributed computing system; identifying, by the incident analyzer, a plurality of potential alerts in dependence upon the events;
wherein each potential alert includes a priority and one or more condition events describing the event producing component creating the event;comparing, by the incident analyzer, the potential alerts and their condition events and priorities; identifying, by the incident analyzer, the highest priority potential alert having condition events whose event producing component is in a tier that is higher than the tier of condition events of one or more lower priority potential alerts; and creating, by the incident analyzer, an alert in dependence upon the identified highest priority potential alert and the condition events corresponding to the identified highest priority potential alert. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
