Abstract
Techniques for generating a hierarchical representation of a set of monitoring events. In some cases, an example system may generate a tree structure based on a set of monitoring events. The tree structure may be generated by: (i) extracting a set of feature values from the monitoring events, where the feature values may correspond to a defined set of event features, (ii) computing a set of entropy measures, each associated with one of the event features over all of the monitoring events, (iii) selecting an event feature for partitioning the events based on the entropy measures, (iv) dividing the events into subsets based on values of the selected feature, and (v) recursively partitioning the subsets based on entropy-selected features until a tree structure is formed.
