Network management system event notification shortcut

摘要

Provided are techniques for a network management system notification shortcut. Also provides are techniques controlling an event notification shortcut in a network management system. The network management system comprising: a probe for intercepting a system event from a monitored system and creating an event item or modifying an event item associated with the system event; a collection database server for collecting a new event item or modification to an existing event item and forwarding a event notification to a second database server; a second database server for receiving the event notification, requesting the event item data or modification data and forwarding the event item to a first client; a first client for receiving the event notification and requesting the event item data or modification data; whereby the collection database server sends the event notification directly to the first client bypassing the second database server if the event satisfies a priority condition.

1. A method, comprising:
intercepting a system event from a monitored network; storing an event record corresponding to the system event at a first database server; correlating the event record to a plurality of communication channels, each communication channel corresponding to a client of a plurality of clients, based upon a plurality of defined interests, each of the plurality of defined interests corresponding to one of the plurality of communication channels; transmitting an event notification corresponding to the event record to a second database server, wherein the event notification comprises notification of the event record stored on the first database server; and, in response to a determination that the system event is a high priority event, transmitting the event notification to the plurality clients, bypassing the second database server via the plurality of communication channels; wherein the intercepting comprising: identifying, by a probe, the system event; and assigning a priority to the system event based upon a rules file associated with the probe.
