Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for prioritized alert delivery in a distributed processing system are provided. Embodiments include receiving a plurality of events from a plurality of tiered event producing components in a distributed computing system; identifying a plurality of potential alerts in dependence upon the events; wherein each potential alert includes a priority and one or more condition events describing the event producing component creating the event; comparing the potential alerts and their condition events and priorities; identifying the highest priority potential alert having condition events whose event producing component is in a tier that is higher than the tier of condition events of one or more lower priority potential alerts; and creating an alert in dependence upon the identified highest priority potential alert and the condition events corresponding to the identified highest priority potential alert.
