Event relationship analysis in fault management

A system for event relationship analysis in fault management, the system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the system performs a method comprising:
• providing a history of a plurality of event instances relating to two or more events identified by event identifiers, wherein an event instance has one or more event occurrences referencing an event identifier, the history including the event occurrences and resolution event information;
• analyzing the event occurrences relating to each event identifier to identify one or more first occurrence of an event instance;
• analyzing the resolution event information relating to each event identifier to identify any event resolution time for an event instance;
• and
• generating a relationship score between the two event identifiers, wherein the generating is based on a combination of first occurrences of event instances relating to the two event identifiers and resolution times of the event instances.

A computer program product for event relationship analysis in fault management, the computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions being executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
• providing a history of a plurality of event instances relating to two or more events identified by event identifiers, wherein an event instance has one or more event occurrences referencing an event identifier, the history including the event occurrences and resolution event information;
• analyzing the event occurrences relating to each event identifier to identify one or more first occurrence of an event instance;
• analyzing the resolution event information relating to each event identifier to identify any event resolution time for an event instance;
• and
• generating a relationship score between the two event identifiers, wherein the generating is based on a combination of first occurrences of event instances relating to the two event identifiers and resolution times of the event instances.
