Dealing with event management (ECA) overload

by Jonah Kowall | February 16, 2012 | Submit a Comment

One of my main goals for research in 2012 is to help round out some of the areas in monitoring which don’t get enough published research or attention here at Gartner. I will be focusing on some vnedor landscapes which will allow us to publish some more actionable advice to those clients looking to invest in various monitoring technologies. This last note was published regarding the pervasive issue that many enterprises which have larger infrastructures have event overload issues. The way that some of these issues are being combated are with more advanced analytic techniques to help deal with this massive stream of alarm and event data. This note touches on the progression of ECA from it’s initial days, as it matured, and now how we solve the larger more complex problems when it comes to event management.
