Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
retrieving first event data associated with a first time period in a real-time stream of events generated by one or more components within a computing system;
computing a first failure metric based on the first event data, wherein the first failure metric includes a count of failed requests occurring within the one or more components of the computing system within the first time period;
comparing the first failure metric with a dynamically adjustable trigger condition;
in response to determining that the first failure metric exceeds the dynamically adjustable trigger condition, generating an alert associated with the first failure metric indicating that the computing system is in an alert condition;
updating a median failure metric based on the first failure metric;
in response to updating the median failure metric, setting the dynamically adjustable trigger condition equal to the updated median failure metric multiplied by a factor, for comparison with a second failure metric associated with a second time period that is subsequent to the first time period;
computing a current range of the first failure metric based on a duration of time that occurs after the alert;
comparing the current range of the first failure metric to a range of the first failure metric occurring prior to the alert to determine that the computing system is no longer in the alert condition; and
discontinuing the alert based on the computing system no longer being in the alert condition.
