System and method for handling events involving computing systems and networks using fabric monitoring system

A system comprising:

• multiple stripes, the stripes comprising different instances of a fabric monitoring system that includes multiple computing nodes and multiple communication links coupling the computing nodes, at least one of the computing nodes comprising one or more processors, the stripes configured to:
• receive information identifying occurrences of first events in an enterprise system comprising multiple computing or networking systems, the first events occurring on or involving computing or networking devices in the computing or networking systems;
• process the information in real-time to identify the occurrences of the first events and to assign the first events to multiple situations, the first events identified using rules accessible by the stripes, the first events assigned to the situations using one or more processing models accessible by the stripes;
• generate and transmit second events to one another in order to support cross-stripe correlations of the first events or the situations, the second events comprising synthetic events;
• and
• output information identifying the situations.

A non-transitory computer readable medium containing computer readable program code that, when executed by multiple stripes comprising different instances of a fabric monitoring system that includes a plurality of computing nodes interconnected by a plurality of communication links, cause the stripes to:

• receive information identifying occurrences of first events in an enterprise system comprising multiple computing or networking systems, the first events occurring on or involving computing or networking devices in the computing or networking systems;
• process the information in real-time to identify the occurrences of the first events and to assign the first events to multiple situations, the first events identified using rules accessible by the stripes, the first events assigned to the situations using one or more processing models accessible by the stripes;
• generate and transmit second events to one another in order to support cross-stripe correlations of the first events or the situations, the second events comprising synthetic events;
• and
• output information identifying the situations.
