A system to facilitate event management is described. The system includes a processor and a machine readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to select a first event including first action information indicating a first action to be performed on a first of a plurality of resources, examine the first action information to determine whether the first action matches stored pending action information associated with one or more actions to be performed on the first resource and merge the first action information with the pending action information upon a determination that the first action matches pending action information.

Computer resource utilization modeling for multiple workloads includes a computer obtaining resource utilization data, the resource utilization data having groups of computer resource utilization measurements made during time intervals for a plurality of workloads. The computer determines parameters representing a distribution of the computer resource utilization measurements for each of the groups to generate a baseline of distributions across the time intervals for each of the plurality of workloads. The computer sums the baselines of distributions for the plurality of workloads to generate a combined baseline of distributions across the time intervals for a combination of the plurality of workloads.

A computer determines desired software products for a managed system. The computer selects a first set of one or more available owned licenses, each license of said first set involving the least waste in terms of covering non-desired products. The computer selects a second set of one or more of licenses from said first set, each license of said second set providing most coverage in terms of covering desired software products. The computer applies a license of said second set to said managed system.
