Abstract: The invention monitors and manages performance and availability data from multiple data providers. A set of executable hierarchical decision trees is used. Each tree has an anchor data node that, if matched to an incoming data point, will trigger the execution of the decision tree. Each tree has lower level data nodes that may request data when the data nodes are traversed during the execution of the tree. Each data node request a particular type of data to be received within a certain time window. Depending on the availability and analysis of the data, the node will return a result, causing the decision tree to proceed and branch the hierarchical decision tree according to the result, if necessary. At the end of each tree branch is an action node, which represents the correlation of an alert, event, or performance metric. The path of the anchor node, data nodes, and action node followed in the executable hierarchical decision tree are used to generate a correlation event.
