An apparatus for monitoring transactions in a computer system includes monitoring events reported by components of the computer system responsively to a flow of the transactions through the system. A state machine model and a rule-based model are jointly applied to the monitored events, so as to identify respective transaction-level events and business-level events. A status of the flow of the transactions is assessed responsively to the transaction-level events and the business-level events.

Multi-level transaction flow monitoring

A computer-implemented method for monitoring transactions in a computer system includes monitoring events reported by components of the computer system responsively to a flow of the transactions through the system. A state machine model and a rule-based model are jointly applied to the monitored events, so as to identify respective transaction-level events and business-level events. A status of the flow of the transactions is assessed responsively to the transaction-level events and the business-level events.

A method, device and computer program product that monitor situations. The method includes: processing information indicative of an occurrence of events to detect, in response to a current rule set, an occurrence of at least one situation that belongs to a situation set; wherein at least one rule sub-set out of the rule set defines at least one relationship between events that should occur within a lifespan; receiving a request to update a first rule; updating the first rule to provide a first updated rule while continuing to detect an occurrence of situations not affected by the update of the first rule.

Device, method and computer program product for situation monitoring

A method and system for scheduling event transactions each having a respective time stamp, for use in an event-driven application. Possible time dependencies among events are resolved according to predetermined event rules associated with the events so as to allow determination as to when the event transactions may be processed. This allows the event transactions to be dispatched to distributed processors for concurrent processing.

Method and system for scheduling a partial ordered transactions for event correlation

A method and system for establishing a situation for use in an event-driven application receives one or more events, and queries an external database for obtaining auxiliary data defining relevant external knowledge for detecting the situation. The event or events are integrated with the auxiliary data for generating a composite event defining the situation. The database query is constructed in real time based on the received events with a query language using SQL primitives.
