Abstract
In an approach for identifying an incident requiring action, a processor receives a plurality of notifications from a plurality of sensors, wherein each notification is related to a problem identified by a sensor of the plurality of sensors. A processor determines an event type corresponding to each of the plurality of notifications based on a type of sensor from which a respective notification originates. A processor creates a group of notifications based on a location from which each respective notification originated and a time period during which each respective notification originated. A processor calculates a weight for each notification of the group based on the corresponding event type, wherein the weight indicates a likelihood to cause other notifications. A processor issues an incident report that includes a maintenance ticket, wherein the maintenance ticket identifies a notification within the group of a higher weight than other notifications of the group.
