AUTOMATED ALERTING RULES RECOMMENDATION AND SELECTION

摘要

An improved technique involves a device monitoring system providing alerting rules for a particular computing environment automatically based on existing alerting rules sets for other computing environments. Along these lines, when an IT professional monitors a computing environment through the device monitoring system, the device monitoring system stores alerting rules sets for that computing environment in a database. In storing rules sets and other information about that and other computing environments, the device monitoring system acquires intelligence from a wealth of data concerning how other IT professionals react to configuration changes in their computing environments. In this way, the device monitoring system then suggests alerting rules for a particular computing environment whose alerting rules are found to be suboptimal based on performance data from the particular computing environment.

1. In a device monitoring system constructed and arranged to communicate alerts, via a set of alerting rules, in response to changes within a computing environment, a method of providing alerting rules for a particular computing environment, the method comprising:
storing multiple alerting rule sets in a rule set database, the multiple alerting rule sets providing sets of alerts when applied to configuration data of existing computing environments; selecting particular alerting rules among the multiple alerting rule sets stored in the rule set database, the particular alerting rules providing particular alerts when applied to configuration data of an existing computing environment; and providing the particular alerting rules to the particular computing environment.
