Abstract
In a network of managed devices, a method of processing network events to reduce the number of events to be displayed in an event log, comprising receiving information relating to network events, passing information regarding a network event to an event processor, determining if the information passed to the event processor relates to a type of event processed by that event processor, and if it is of such a type, processing said information if information on a related event has already been received by that event processor. The method also includes passing said information on to a further event processor if the information received does not relate to a type of event processed by said first event processor.A set of event processors for carrying out the method is described together with a computer program, or a program on a computer readable medium loadable into a digital computer, or embodied in a carrier wave, which computer program operates in accordance with the method.
