System and method for cloud-based control-plane event monitor

A system for cloud-based, control-plane-event monitoring, the system comprising:

• a) a collection processor having inputs that receive control-plane events comprising a first event type with a first format from a cloud-based element associated with a first cloud environment and that receive control-plane events comprising a second event type with a second format from a cloud-based element associated with a second cloud environment, wherein the first event type and the second event type are a same event type and the first format and the second format are different formats;
• b) an ingestion processor that ingests the received control-plane events from the cloud-based elements associated with the first and second cloud environments, thereby generating a multiple-source data set from the control-plane events from the cloud-based elements associated with the first and second cloud environments;
• c) an evaluation processor that evaluates the multiple-source data set based on attributes of the first and second cloud environments and that transforms the at least one of the received control-plane events comprising the first event type with the first format and the at least one of the received control-plane events comprising the second event type with the second format into at least one common event with a common format, thereby generating a common event data set;
• and
• d) a processor that processes the common event data set using a rule set to generate an outcome.
