Correlating computing network events
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a processor;
a deployment engine executable by the processor to;
discover a topology of a computing environment;
identify resources to deploy in the computing environment; and
deploy the resources in the computing environment; and
an event manager executable by the processor to receive and process events corresponding to the deployed resources, the event manager configured to;
receive an alert of a first event;
identify a first resource associated with the first event;
receive an alert of a second event;
identify a second resource associated with the second event;
search a database of stored resource sets for the first and second resources, each resource set indicating resources deployed in the computing environment according to a deployment template, the deployment template defining resources provisioned for a computing service;
determine whether the first and second resources belong to a common resource set; and
responsive to determining that the first and second resources belong to the common resource set, correlate the first and second events.

Abstract
According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method and technique for correlating computing network events is disclosed. The method includes: receiving a plurality of events at an event manager residing on a host computing system; identifying a first resource associated with a first event; identifying a second resource associated with a second event; determining whether the first resource is associated with a deployment pattern; determining whether the second resource is associated with a deployment pattern; and responsive to determining that the first and second resources are each associated with a deployment pattern, correlating the first and second events responsive to the first and second resources being associated with a common deployment pattern.
