Abstract
Methods and apparatus to provide a cloud computing system having cross domain event correlation. In one embodiment, a first alert is received in a first domain of the system domains and a second alert in a second domain of the system domains, the first and second alerts caused by an event. A topology of the system is determined and connectivity matching is performed to identify connections between a port in the first domain and a port in the second domain. Identify matching, using unique identifiers for domain components, is performed to determine that a first component in the first domain associated with the first alert is the same component as a second component associated with the second alert in the second domain for cross domain event correlation.
