1. A method comprising:
- generating a user interface incorporating multiple display interfaces;
receiving event data corresponding to one or more issues experienced by multiple Internet services for a plurality of events monitored by an operator;
gathering context data for the plurality of events from multiple sources, wherein the context data comprises tasks for managing each of the plurality of events;
matching the plurality of events with the context data to generate matched context data;
configuring the multiple display interfaces to display the event data and the matched context data, the displaying comprising;
displaying the one or more issues experienced by the multiple Internet services, displaying a first incident causing a first issue experienced by a first Internet service of the multiple Internet services and displaying a second incident causing a second issue experienced by a second Internet service of the multiple Internet services, wherein the first incident is related to the second incident;
displaying a product service level agreement (SLA) at a first level; and
responsive to one or more selections associated with the product SLA at the first level, drilling down to a second level to anticipate incidents associated with the product SLA, wherein the product SLA at the second level comprises one or more links to one or more causes of one or more issues associated with the product SLA;
receiving a selection of a first event of the plurality of events; and
displaying a first window comprising ping output information associated with the first event while concurrently displaying a second window comprising traceroute output information associated with the first event and a third window comprising Internet Relay Chat (IRC) information associated with the first event responsive to receiving the selection, the IRC information intelligently automatically redirected to one or more IRC users.

Abstract
Enhancing situational awareness in operations management includes: generating a user interface incorporating multiple display interfaces; receiving event data for a plurality of events monitored by an operator viewing the multiple display interfaces; receiving context data for the plurality of events, wherein the context data is received from multiple sources; matching the plurality of the events with the context data; determining the events which the operator must handle as priority events; displaying the priority events; and reducing saliency of any events and tasks that are not associated with the priority events.
