Publication number: 20240202286Abstract: Predicting the formation of event groups in complex and enterprise-related information technology (IT) environments is provided. In some instances, an event pattern is predicted based upon events arriving within a duration that matches a historical pattern for an event and surpasses a user-defined threshold of events that are received. This predicted event pattern is used to monitor incoming events in order to alert an operator or site reliability engineer (SRE) that a certain percentage of events from the predicted pattern are received. In another instance, receiving an event automatically triggers the formation of an event group, with the event group having information relating to the received event and a series of placeholder events. As more events are received, these newly received events individually replace the placeholder events in the event group.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2022Publication date: June 20, 2024Inventors: Jonathan Ian Settle, Fred Harald Klein, Zane Clayton Bray, Isabell Sippli
