Abstract: One embodiment is related to a method for setting a tenant context for an application in a multi-tenancy environment, comprising: identifying a tenant identity for a tenant request, wherein the tenant identity is included in the tenant request; and setting a proper context for a first service of the application based on the identified tenant identity.

Abstract: Detection of a cause of an error occurring in a data center is provided. A time period between a failure event in the data center and a previous successful event is determined. A set of devices involved in the failure event is generated using a data protection advisor (DPA). Data collected for the set of devices during the determined time period is scanned to detect at least one configuration change made during the determined time period. Based on a result of the scanned collected data, the at least one configuration change is displayed as a potential root cause of the error.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method, includes receiving and storing objects in a repository, translating objects in an object repository format to a graphical user interface (GUI) format, rendering the GUI format to a user, receiving a rule from the user using the GUI format, translating the rule in the GUI format to a rule repository format, storing rule in the rule repository format in a rule repository and compiling the rule in the rule repository format into a format that is acceptable for processing by the event based analysis engine.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method includes rendering to a user an object and objects related to the object, receiving from a user a selection by a user of a one of the related objects to use in a rule for an event-based analysis engine and merging the object and the selected object to perform the rule.

Abstract: Several aspects for providing historical information to an event based image include a method, an apparatus and an article. One or more of the aspects includes receiving a trigger associated with a rule, determining if the rule requires that historical information be provided to an event-based analysis engine, filtering out events not needed by the rule if the rule requires historical information and providing the event-based analysis engine with historical information based on the filtering.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method includes receiving an original rule configured to be used by an event based analysis engine. The original rule requires data to be collected over a period of time. The method also includes determining if the period of time is greater than a time period threshold; determining if the original rule includes an aggregate function; generating an aggregation rule that aggregates the data to be collected by the original rule if the original rule includes an aggregate function and if the period of time is greater than the time period threshold and aggregating data according to the aggregation rule.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method includes determining if a rule in a memory of an event-based analysis engine has been used by the event-based analysis engine within a predetermined period of time and moving the rule to a storage device if the rule in the memory of the event-based analysis engine has not been used by the event-based analysis engine within the predetermined period of time.
