Event monitoring for complex event processing

A method of rendering a filtered canvas view of an event flow in a data processing system configured for complex event processing (CEP) event monitoring, the method comprising:

• receiving a context identifier through a dashboard displayed in a computer for a CEP event monitoring tool executing in memory by a processor of a host server;
• filtering events in a log of events for monitored touch points communicatively coupled to the CEP event monitoring tool according to the context identifier;
• displaying in a filtered canvas view disposed within the dashboard the filtered events and associated interaction blocks defined within the CEP event monitoring tool and at least one activity triggered by an evaluation of at least one filter criteria of a least one associated interaction block;
• and,
• visually linking the filtered events and associated interaction blocks, and the at least one activity and the at least one associated interaction block in the filtered canvas view.
