Abstract: Processing network events generates multiple events from a single network device event. The system includes a network monitoring device for acquiring event data and a processing system for receiving an input event from a network monitoring device on a processing thread, wherein the processing system includes a communications thread generating component for generating multiple communications threads each for transmitting event data to a server database. The communication threads open connections to required server databases and these connections are maintained in an open state while the network monitoring device is running.

Abstract: A method and system for fault management in virtual computing environments are provided. The system includes: a monitor of fault events from virtual machines and host devices in a virtual computing environment and a monitor of situation events in the virtual computing environment wherein the situation events refer to a virtual machine name and a host device name. A universal faults component determines if a fault event affects both virtual machines and host devices and a correlating component correlates fault events relating to virtual machines and host devices as relating to the same problem. Host machine fault events correlated to a problem are marked as a root event and virtual machine fault events correlated to a problem are marked as symptoms with a link to the root event.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for preparing to efficiently distribute data to be extracted from a data store to clients and for distributing such prepared data to the clients. The methods and system have particular utility in the context of a network monitoring system which captures and stores network event data and makes the event data available to clients according to any desired view or summary. One method for preparing the data involves storing as primary requests one or more client requests for data to be extracted from the event database. Additional client requests for event are each compared to the stored primary requests to determine whether each additional request matches a stored primary request in accordance with a given criterion, such as a filter or summary formula. If the additional request matches a stored primary request, the additional client request is associated with the matching primary request.
