Abstract

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for selected alert delivery in a distributed processing system are provided. Embodiments include receiving a plurality of events from one or more event producing components of the distributed processing system; creating, by an incident analyzer, in dependence upon the events a truth space representing events that make one or more conditional event processing rules true, the truth space including a set of truth points, each truth point including a set of events and a set of event locations; creating, by the incident analyzer, in dependence upon the truth space one or more alerts including assigning one of the locations of the truth space to one or more of the alerts; and sending, by the incident analyzer, the alerts to at least one component of the distributed processing system.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 6 . (canceled) 
     
     
         7 . An apparatus for selected 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 a plurality of events from one or more event producing components of the distributed processing system;   creating, by an incident analyzer, in dependence upon the events a truth space representing events that make one or more conditional event processing rules true, the truth space including a set of truth points, each truth point including a set of events and a set of event locations;   creating, by the incident analyzer, in dependence upon the truth space one or more alerts including assigning one of the locations of the truth space to one or more of the alerts; and   sending, by the incident analyzer, the alerts to at least one component of the distributed processing system.   
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 7  wherein the location assigned to the alert indicates a location that the alert occurred. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 7  wherein the location assigned to the alert is assigned a random location selected from one of the event locations of the event corresponding to the alert. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 7  wherein the location assigned to the alert is assigned the first event location selected from one of the event locations corresponding to the alert. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 7  wherein creating in dependence upon the truth space one or more alerts further comprises scoping one or more truth spaces. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 7  further comprising updating, by the incident analyzer, the truth space. 
     
     
         13 . A computer program product for selected alert delivery in a distributed processing system, the computer program product disposed upon a computer readable 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 a plurality of events from one or more event producing components of the distributed processing system;   creating, by an incident analyzer, in dependence upon the events a truth space representing events that make one or more conditional event processing rules true, the truth space including a set of truth points, each truth point including a set of events and a set of event locations;   creating, by the incident analyzer, in dependence upon the truth space one or more alerts including assigning one of the locations of the truth space to one or more of the alerts; and   sending, by the incident analyzer, the alerts to at least one component of the distributed processing system.   
     
     
         14 . The computer program product of  claim 13  wherein the location assigned to the alert indicates a location that the alert occurred. 
     
     
         15 . The computer program product of  claim 13  wherein the location assigned to the alert is assigned a random location selected from one of the event locations of the event corresponding to the alert. 
     
     
         16 . The computer program product of  claim 13  wherein the location assigned to the alert is assigned the first event location selected from one of the event locations corresponding to the alert. 
     
     
         17 . The computer program product of  claim 13  wherein creating in dependence upon the truth space one or more alerts further comprises scoping one or more truth spaces. 
     
     
         18 . The computer program product of  claim 13 , wherein the computer readable medium further comprises a computer readable signal medium. 
     
     
         19 . The computer program product of  claim 13 , wherein the computer readable medium further comprises a computer readable storage medium.
