Abstract:
1. A method comprising: providing a message identifier of a first event to a correlation engine, the correlation engine configured to correlate the first event to one or more second events according to a predetermined correlation technique; receiving message identifiers of the second events from the correlation engine; generating a correlated message identifier for the first event based on the message identifier of the first event and on the message identifiers of the second events; and, outputting the correlated message identifier for the first event; wherein the first event is directly correlated to all the second events, such that none of the second events is correlated to any other second event, generating the correlated message identifier for the first event is based directly on the message identifier of the first event and directly on the message identifiers of the second events; and wherein generating the correlated message identifier for the first event comprises:
