Abstract
Autonomic network sentinels are disclosed. An occurrence of a particular network condition is detected at a network entity. The network entity compares the particular network condition with one or more sample set rules of a first sample set of rules associated with the first network entity. The first sample set of rules comprise one or more rules from a full set of rules stored at a rule base. Each rule from the full set of rules represents a network condition and an action to be taken in response to an occurrence of the network condition. In response to determining that the particular network condition matches a particular rule from the first sample set of rules, the network entity notifies the rule base or one or more second network entities of the match.
