INCIDENT HANDLING

摘要

A first future time occurs sooner than a second future time. The first future time indicates when the first and second future times are to be evaluated. The second future time provides a boundary between schedules occurring sooner and schedules occurring later. A schedule is generated and added to a database stored in a non-volatile storage. The schedule is for executing, in relation to an incident, an incident-handling action corresponding to a condition matching the incident. The schedule has an execution time at which to execute the incident-handling action in relation to the incident. Where the execution time is sooner than the second future time, the schedule is added to a queue stored in a volatile memory. Upon a current time equaling the execution time, the schedule is removed from the queue and correspondingly executing the incident-handling action in relation to the incident.

1. A method comprising;
specifying first and second future times, the first future time occurring sooner than the second future time, the first future time indicating when the first and second future times are to be specified again, the second future time providing a boundary between schedules occurring sooner and schedules occurring later; generating and adding a schedule to a database stored in a non-volatile storage, by a processor, the schedule for executing, in relation to an incident, an incident-handling action corresponding to a condition matching the incident, the schedule having an execution time at which to execute the incident-handling action in relation to the incident; where the execution time is sooner than the second future time, adding the schedule to a queue stored in a volatile memory, by the processor; and, upon a current time equaling the execution time, removing the schedule from the queue and correspondingly executing the incident-handling action in relation to the incident, by the processor.
