Abstract
A method and apparatus for integrating event monitoring and management information from a plurality of different event monitoring and management systems are provided. With the method and apparatus, an event management system (EMS) portal is provided which performs the operations for integrating the event information from a plurality of different event management systems in a network. A human user, such as a system administrator, may send a request for event information to the EMS portal. The request may include selections of event management systems, event management tables, and/or fields in the event management tables that are of interest to the user. The EMS portal then uses database clients to query the databases for selected event management systems on the network. The queries request the event information corresponding to the selections in the request submitted by the user to the EMS portal. The event information is then sent to the EMS portal clients which store the event information in a portal database. The EMS portal then generates one or more event information reports and transmits them to the user.
