A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for monitoring and alerting on an event log. One or more alert policies is accessed, wherein each of the alert policies is comprised of one or more rules stored on a computer. An event log stored on a computer is accessed in a location-independent manner to gather one or more event messages stored therein. The event messages are filtered by comparing them to the rules of the alert policies to raise an alert and determine whether an alert action should be invoked.

Location-independent service for monitoring and alerting on an event log

The present invention discloses a method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for selecting multiple items in a hierarchy having two or more levels. Preferably, the hierarchy comprises at least one replication group, wherein the items are replicatable on systems and the replication group comprises a set of rules governing the replication of items on systems. The method comprises the steps of displaying a hierarchy of multiple items on a monitor connected to a computer; selecting two or more non-adjacent items in the hierarchy; and displaying graphical information on the monitor. The graphical information denotes the quantity of selected items and membership of the selected items in replication groups. In addition, the graphical information and item selections are maintained when the selected items are not visible on the monitor. The displayed graphical information can be designed so as to provide the user with feedback as to the status of selected and/or non-selected items. The image of the icon can be designed to change as the status of the associated item changes. The displayed graphical information can include items that are not eligible for selection, or be limited to only those items eligible for selection.

Enhanced tree control for multiple item selection

A system for verifying design of a digital system. A digital system, which receives input vectors and produces output vectors, is simulated. The invention generates a sequence of synthesized input vectors, and applies them to the simulated system. These input vectors cause changes in internal variables, and the output vectors. The invention also independently computes the values which internal variables and output vectors are expected to assume. The invention then compares the simulated internal and output variables with the computed values. If they agree, the simulation is assumed to function properly.
