!!Background
Effective [event] correlation should be an integral part of modern infrstrucutre administration. Reducing alarm volume while improving information content is a key determinant of a successfully managed infrstrucutre.
!! Why it is a Problem
If monitoring is done at the following levels:
* [Application]
* [Operating System]
* [Network]
If an outage happens at the Network Level, then obviously the [Operating System] and [Application] level should have an event generation as about [Availability]. But, we do not want to cause trouble tickets to be generated for erroneous or redundant reasons or to the teams that can not help fix the problem.
An [{$pagename}] engine would be able to determine the "root" cause to be the Network and not cause ticket to go to the application owner.
[{$pagename}] is really the final piece in a network management environment. You get just so many events out there, whether polled [events] or trap events. Taking all that information and correlating it, and efficiently figuring out what’s important and what‘s not – what are false positives, etc -- is critical.
If I get “xyz” it might mean one thing; if I get “xyz” and you add “abc” to it, then it’s something else entirely. So, the [{$pagename}] engine really drives root cause analysis as well.
Without [{$pagename}], you’re stuck with additional manual processes. If I can identify the event quickly with root cause analysis and I can figure out what’s causing that event through automated correlation, then effectively driven down response time and trouble shooting time.
