Dynamic evocations for computer event management

A computer implemented method performed by a processor, the computer implemented method comprising:

• detecting a plurality of computer events;
• determining an event severity and a business priority for each event;
• selecting a set of the events based on the severity and the business priority of the events;
• determining an event category for each event in the set of events;
• and
• displaying an event management console including an entry for each event of the set of events, each entry in the event management console including at least an event description and an event severity indicator that indicates event severity;
• and
• wherein the displayed event management console also includes one or more evocations for each event category of the set of events, each evocation providing a suggested course of action to address events of the event category.

A computer system including instructions recorded on a computer-readable storage medium and readable by at least one processor, the system comprising:

• event detection logic configured to detect a plurality of computer events;
• determination logic configured to determine an event severity and a business priority for each event;
• selection logic configured to select a set of the events based on the severity and business priority of the events;
• category determination logic configured to determine an event category for each event in the set of events;
• and
• display logic configured to display an event management console including an entry for each event of the set of events, each entry in the event management console including at least an event description and an event severity indicator that indicates event severity;
• and
• wherein the displayed event management console also includes one or more evocations for each event category of the set of events, each evocation providing a suggested course of action to address events of the event category.
