Patent ID: 8737231

Claim:
A system for dynamic administration of event pools for relevant event and alert analysis during event storms in a distributed processing system, the system comprising a computer processor, a computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, the computer memory having disposed within it computer program instructions capable, when executed by the computer processor, of causing the system to carry out the steps of: receiving, by an events analyzer, a plurality of events from a plurality of components of the distributed processing system, each event including an occurred time and a logged time, wherein the occurred time is a time the event was generated as a result of an occurrence that cause the event, and wherein the logged time is a time the event is included in the events queue; creating, by the events analyzer, an events pool; determining whether an arrival rate of the events from the components of the distributed processing system is greater than a predetermined threshold; if the arrival rate is greater than the predetermined threshold, assigning, by the events analyzer, a plurality of events to the events pool, each of the assigned plurality of events having a respective occurred time after a start time of the pool and before a close time of the pool; and if the arrival rate is not greater than the predetermined threshold, assigning, by the events analyzer, a plurality of events to the events pool, each of the assigned plurality of events having a respective a logged time after a start time of the pool and before a close time of the pool.
