1. A method for predicting a network event flood, the method comprising the steps of:
detecting, by an event rate detector, rates of event emissions from one or more devices, wherein each rate of emissions is stored per device with an associated time stamp; producing, by an aggregator, an aggregate rate and an aggregate rate trend of said rates of event emissions from a plurality of said devices; generating, by a level generator, a plurality of levels comprising maximum acceptable event rate values of a plurality of said aggregate rate trends over plural time periods; storing, by a storage component, said plurality of levels; comparing, by a comparator, a current aggregate rate trend for at least one of the one or more devices with one or more of said levels, wherein the comparing is iterative to each one of the one or more of said levels; detecting whether said current aggregate rate trend will exceed one of the one or more of said levels at a first point in time; and signalling, by a signaller, a predicted event flood responsive to said comparator detecting that said current aggregate rate trend will exceed one of the one or more of said levels at a first point in time. |
