Abstract

In large scale systems IT systems, for the purpose of management, we have what are known as "Networked Operations Centers" or NOCs. These NOCs are manned by support staff, known as operators. Data in the form of events from various sub-systems in the larger system is sent to the central event console so that the NOC operators can work on problems in the infrastructure before they have a significant impact on the availability and performance of business applications. The challenge for these NOC operators is that of managing the large number of incoming events. In this work, we address the problem of scale by proposing a data mining technique for automatic event correlation for large scale operations management systems.
