Abstract: Method and system in an event management system is disclosed. The method includes the step of creating an agent on a server in an event management system for monitoring an event. The event is present when a data achieving a predefined status defined by a business rule. The event management system includes a data source for generating the notification. The method further includes the steps of running the agent according to a schedule; generating the notification upon occurring of the event.

Abstract: A method of retrieving an annotation associated with a data item in a view generated by an information management system querying a data source, includes receiving an output of a query; analyzing the output of the query to identify one or more data items having a data value and an attribute associated therewith; for each identified data value and attribute, identifying a unique value associated with the data value and the attribute, wherein an identified unique value associated with the data value and an identified unique value associated with the attribute forms a unique set of values; identifying from a data store a previously logged set of unique values corresponding to the set of unique values; in response to a positive determination, determining whether the previously logged unique set of values are an associated annotation; and in response to a positive second determination retrieving the annotation from the data store.

Abstract: A trend detection method and system, for use in an event management system is disclosed. The method includes the steps of storing event data from a plurality of events in an event store, subsequently analyzing said stored event data, and determining one or more trends from said analysis.

Abstract: An iterative escalation method and system, for use in an event management system is disclosed. The method includes the steps of passing data from a first notification process to at least one additional notification process; and subsequently automatically updating said additional notification process.

Abstract: A recipient input method and system, for use in an event management system is disclosed. The method includes the steps of determining a requirement for input from a recipient; and requesting said recipient input.

Abstract: An autonomous dynamic behavior modification method and system, for use in an event management system is disclosed. The method includes the steps of determining aspects to be behavior modified; and modifying said aspects behavior.

Abstract: A message suppression method and system, for use in an event management system is disclosed. The method includes the steps of storing values from a first notification in an event data store; subsequently comparing values from a second notification to said stored first notification values, and suppressing said second notification when one or more predetermined elements match.

Abstract: A data crawling and associated action method and system, for use in an event management system is disclosed. The method includes the steps of monitoring disparate data sources; and processing said monitored data to provide preconditioned data.

Abstract: An event management system and method is disclosed. The system has access to at least one data source and includes a server component, a definition data store for storing data definitions; a client component for authoring said agents using said definitions; and an interface between said agent engine and said data source. The server component includes an agent engine for creating one or more agents, and a scheduler for running said created agents.

Abstract: A notification service method and system, for use in an event management system is disclosed. The method includes the steps of storing notification data; and subsequently accessing said stored data to determine notification parameters.

Abstract: A dynamic recipient method and system for use in an event management system is disclosed. The method includes the steps of inserting a dynamic addressee placeholder into a notification; subsequently determining a dynamic addressee based on event data; and dynamically addressing a notification.
