Abstract:
1. A method for adaptive fault identification, comprising: identifying a plurality of symptoms in a system topology that are affecting performance of the system topology; adding alerts corresponding to the plurality of symptoms in the system topology to a monitored queue; retrieving one of the alerts, being a first alert, from the monitored queue; determining related alerts in the monitored queue for the system topology related to the first alert; retrieving another of the alerts, being a second alert, from the monitored queue; determining related alerts in the monitored queue for the system topology related to the second alert; identifying first objects of the system topology corresponding to the first alert and the related alerts of the first alert; identifying second objects of the system topology corresponding to the second alert and the related alerts of the second alert; determining a plurality of problem domains defined by the identified first and second objects, wherein each of the plurality of problem domains are independently determined; and correlating queued alerts corresponding to each of the problem domains to identify the at least one fault in the system topology, the queued alerts being correlated independently with respect to each of the plurality of problem domains.
