Abstract
A method for processing events generated by software and hardware entities installed on a computer network that avoids overload conditions at large event processing rates is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of providing a protocol translation facility that is configured to translate messages from a first network communications protocol to a second network communications protocol. The protocol translation facility is further configured to receive events transmitted by software and hardware entities on the network. The protocol translation facility forwards the events to a management information server. An event is received, and a determination is made whether an association between the protocol translation facility and the entity exists. The event is processed
