Abstract: Systems, methods, architectures, mechanisms and/or apparatus to manage alarm generation associated with the failure of an expected event or action to occur.

Abstract: Systems, methods, architectures and/or apparatus providing a visualization tool wherein an initial or simplified correlation tree includes a path between two hierarchically related objects; namely, a root cause object and an object representing an entity associated with an event of interest caused by the root cause entity, wherein the correlation tree may be incrementally increased in size and complexity in response to user input, such as via a graphical user interface, such that the user attention is focused on the specific entities and their relationships to thereby enable a user to quickly understand the various failure relationships.

Abstract: Systems, methods, architectures, mechanisms and/or apparatus to manage alarm generation associated with event-sourcing objects or entities at a data center in accordance with a hierarchy of failure relationships of the event-sourcing objects or entities, wherein alarms normally generated in response to a received event are suppressed (i.e., not generated) if the source of the event is not the root cause of the event.

Abstract: Systems, methods, architectures and/or apparatus for determining a historic hierarchy of failure relationships associated with a historic event of interest and identifying, for the historic moment in time, higher-level objects/entities within a data center which, when failed, necessarily produce failure of corresponding lower-level objects/entities. This information is especially useful within the context of identifying root cause failures associated with a historic event of interest, as well as the impact of the historic event of interest upon other objects/entities.

Abstract: Systems, methods, architectures and/or apparatus for implementing an event correlation function in which a correlation window (CW) utilized therefor is dynamically adapted in response to changes in average correlation distance (CD) as indicated by unambiguous event pair occurrences.
