Abstract
An event management system includes an email consumer for handling email, a paging consumer, an active scripting consumer, a log file consumer, an event log consumer, and a command line consumer. The events in the event management system are represented as objects and each consumer is represented as a class. The system also includes an event forwarding consumer to forward events. The event management system allows the creation of an instance of an event filter which filters events based on event filter properties. The system also allows the creation of an instance of an event consumer which defines an action and creation of a binding between the instance of the event filter and the instance of the event consumer such that the binding includes properties identifying the instance of the event filter and the instance of the event consumer.
