Abstract
An approach for processing events generally involves receiving event data that specifies one or more attributes of an event that has occurred. A determination is made whether the event data satisfies one or more event cancellation criteria. If so, then event report data is provided to a recipient, such as an application layer. The event report data specifies at least one attribute of the event that occurred. If the event data does not satisfy the one or more event cancellation criteria, then the event data is not provided to the recipient and the event is canceled. The cancellation criteria may include policy-based rules that may specify event cancellation based upon, for example, event frequency, correlation window size, particular information associated with an event, or other management application rules. The particular cancellation criteria used may vary from application to application. Furthermore, the cancellation criteria used for any particular application may be dynamic and change over time.
