Abstract
Techniques for meta-directory control and evaluation of events are provided. Disparate events from heterogeneous processing environments are collected as the events are produced by resources within the processing environments. The events are filtered and organized into taxonomies. Next the filtered and organized events are assigned to nodes of a Meta directory, each node defining a relationship between two or more of the resources and policy is applied. Finally, additional policy is evaluated in view of the events and their node assignments with other events, and one or more automated actions are then taken.

A method implemented and residing within a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for execution by one or more processors, the method comprising:
- gathering events from resources processing in different cloud environments;
- assigning each event to a category;
- assigning a number of the events to nodes;
- and
- evaluating the events in view of other events assigned to each of the nodes.
A method implemented and residing within a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for execution by one or more processors, the method comprising:
- classifying events originating from different communication channels and different cloud environments;
- evaluating a policy based on the classified events in view of other accumulated and classified events;
- and
- taking automated actions in response to the policy evaluation.
A method implemented and residing within a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for execution by one or more processors, the method comprising:
- collecting events from disparate resources and environments;
- organizing the events;
- assigning the events based on defined relationships for the resources;
- and
- using a policy to take an automated action based on some of the assigned events to some of the relationships and based on existing events assigned to those relationships.
