A method of checkpointing for delayed alert creation, the method comprising: applying, by an event and alert analysis module, a checkpoint to an events pool having events with corresponding alerts that have been generated and not delivered; following a crash and the loss of the corresponding alerts not recorded in an alert database, generating, by the event and alert analysis module, new alerts based on the events in the events pool having the checkpoint; in response to completing processing of a new alert, determining, by the event and alert analysis module, whether the alert database has an entry corresponding to the processed new alert; if the alert database has an entry corresponding to the processed new alert, blocking, by the event and alert analysis module, the processed new alert from reporting to the alert database and blocking a user notification of the processed new alert; and if the alert database does not have an entry corresponding to the processed new alert, writing, by the event and alert analysis module, the processed new alert to a delivery queue and reporting the processed new alert to the alert database including creating within the alert database, an entry corresponding to the processed new alert.
