Abstract:
A system for dynamically processing a network event using an action set in a distributed computing environment, comprising:an event queue within which can be queued a plurality of generated action sets which each correspond to an instance of an action set; a manager comprising: a sensor comprising: a sensor thread sensing the occurrence of a network event through receipt of a message indicating a network event occurrence, the message including event data pertinent to the network event; a generate thread launching a generate daemon responsive to a notification from the sensor process; the generate daemon retrieving an event mapping corresponding to the network event and which identifies an action set, the generate daemon further generating a generated action set from the event mapping and enqueueing the generated action set onto the event queue; and a process thread launching a process daemon responsive to a notification from the generate daemon; and the process daemon removing the generated action set from the event queue and processing the generated action set by causing the execution of at least one action embedded therein.
