Method and system for identifying event source in duplicate IP networks

摘要

A method and system are described for identifying the source of an event in a computer network. In accordance with exemplary embodiments of the present invention, an identifier tag is associated with an event occurring within the computer network, wherein the identifier tag uniquely identifies at least one collection computer monitoring the event. At least one management computer receives information from the at least one collection computer that includes the identifier tag. The at least one management computer derives an identification of each collection computer from the identifier tag. The source of the event is identified to a user using the identification of each collection computer.
