Abstract
A computer system includes a symptoms database having symptoms that relate to problems, where each symptom includes an event correlation rule having corresponding predicates. To identify a root cause of a problem, collected events are correlated with symptoms based upon their associated event correlation rule(s). For each symptom at least partially matched to an event, visualization information is associated with corresponding events based upon the visualization attribute of the symptom, and textual information is associated with event based upon the recommendation of the symptom. Moreover, recommendations may be provided to an operator, such as based upon information associated with the symptom. The event and symptom data is analyzed by grouping events in the set of events based upon their associated visualization information and presenting the textual information associated with an operator-selected event.
