A system is provided for managing an infrastructure. An extraction engine is in communication with a managed infrastructure that includes physical hardware. A signalizer engine includes one or more of an NMF engine (Non-negative matrix factorization), a k-means clustering engine (a method of vector quantization), and a topology proximity engine. The signalizer engine determines one or more common characteristics of events and produces clusters of events relating to the failure or errors in the infrastructure. The signalizer engine uses graph coordinates and optionally a subset of attributes assigned to each event to generate one or more clusters to bring together events whose characteristics are similar. One or more interactive displays provide a collaborative interface coupled to the extraction and the signalizer engine with a collaborative interface (UI) for decomposing events from the infrastructure. The events are converted into words and subsets to group the events into clusters that relate to security of the managed infrastructure. In response to grouping the events physical changes are made to at least a portion of the physical hardware. In response to production of the clusters security of the managed infrastructure is maintained.

System for managing an instructure with security

A system is provided for managing a managed infrastructure that has physical hardware components. A signalizer engine is coupled to the managed infrastructure. The signalizer engine includes a central processor and a main memory. In response to input from the managed infrastructure, the central processor and the main memory use graph coordinates to determine hop proximity of a source of an event. Clusters of events are then produced relating to one or more failures or errors in the physical elements of the managed infrastructure. Each event being is converted to words to group the events into the clusters that relate to a failure or an actionable problem in the physical hardware components to produce an output. A compare and merge engine is coupled to the signalizer engine to receive the output. In response to the output, the system executes physical corrections to the physical hardware of the managed infrastructure. One or more interactive displays is in communication with the compare and merge engine to provide a collaborative interface for allowing posts to be created.
