Abstract

Systems and methods are described for the execution and authoring of policies that use event rates for event management. The first system addresses policy execution. Included in this system are: a controller that provides overall operational control, a grouping engine, a rate detector, and a rate diagnoser. The second system automates the construction of event rate policies based on primary information sources (e.g., topology, inventory). The components of this system include: an authoring user interface, source-specific hierarchy generators, an event group generator and hierarchy builder, and a threshold constructor.
