Abstract

See full text

A system and method for dynamically creating and cleaning up correlation circuits connecting effect events, such as a system failure, with their corresponding cause events. Object instances are created to act upon cause and effect events. A particular object instance can be both a cause event for another object as well as an effect event for another causal event and adapted to monitor network devices. When a cause event occurs in the system, it publishes messages to other objects subscribed to it. A correlation circuit is dynamically created by linking effects with their causes, those causes with their causes, until a root cause is located. Correlation circuits dynamically change depending upon the events occurring in the system.
