A method, system, and computer program product for providing information of a monitored system through a graphical user interface (GUI) of a monitoring application to support simplified or automatic identification of events. The method includes, among other possible operations, initiating an event pattern script recording. The method also includes keeping track of user actions on said GUI and on activated GUI panels during said event pattern script recording by requesting a user to specify, once the user activates a further GUI panel, which panel information in a current GUI panel triggered activation of said further GUI panel and based on what criterion the triggering occurred. The user specified information results in triggering information. The method also includes, in response to receiving an indication that an event has been identified, stopping said event pattern script recording. The method also includes, storing said event pattern script recording containing identification information identifying the event, GUI panel information about said activated GUI panels during said event pattern script recording and said triggering information.
