System and method for managing alerts using a state machine

Abstract:

A system and computer-implemented method to manage alerts, wherein the method includes receiving anomaly triggers associated with detected anomalies, associating an anomaly trigger of the received anomaly triggers with an alert, tracking the alert using a state machine, determining whether to change a state of the state machine if a subsequent anomaly trigger associated with the alert is received or if a predetermined amount of time passes without receiving trigger information, and generating an alarm based on the state of the state machine.
