DYNAMIC EVENT PROCESSING FOR NETWORK DIAGNOSIS

Abstract:

Example methods and systems for dynamic event processing for network diagnosis are described. In one example, a computer system may monitor a runtime flow of multiple packets to detect a set of multiple events associated with the runtime flow. The computer system may perform a first stage of event processing by matching the set of multiple events to a set of multiple signatures that includes a first signature and a second signature. The first signature may be associated with a first mapping rule that is fully satisfied by the set of multiple events. The second signature may be associated with a second mapping rule that is partially satisfied. During a second stage of event processing, the second signature is disregarded. In response to diagnosing an issue associated with the runtime flow, remediation action(s) may be performed.
