Abstract
In one embodiment, a device (e.g., learning machine) determines a plurality of fate-sharing group (FSG) nodes in a computer network that are prone to simultaneously send an alarm upon detecting an event. As such, the device may elect one or more FSG owner nodes as a subset of the FSG nodes, and instructs the FSG group such that only FSG owner nodes send an alarm upon event detection.
Claims25
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a network device executing a learning machine process, a plurality of fate-sharing group (FSG) nodes in a computer network that are prone to simultaneously send an alarm upon detecting an event, wherein the learning machine process intercepts and stores alarms overtime to identify which particular FSG a particular node in the computer network belongs;
- electing, by the network device, one or more FSG owner nodes as a subset of the FSG nodes;
- and
- instructing, by the network device, the FSG group such that only FSG owner nodes send an alarm upon event detection.
An apparatus, comprising:
- one or more network interfaces that communicate with a computer network;
- a processor coupled to the one or more network interfaces and configured to execute a process, wherein at least one of the processes is a learning machine process;
- and
- a memory configured to store the learning machine process executable by the processor, the learning machine process when executed operable to:
- determine a plurality of fate-sharing group (FSG) nodes in the computer network that are prone to simultaneously send an alarm upon detecting an event, wherein the learning machine process intercepts and stores alarms overtime to identify which particular FSG a particular node in the computer network belongs;
- elect one or more FSG owner nodes as a subset of the FSG nodes;
- and
- instruct the FSG group such that only FSG owner nodes send an alarm upon event detection.
A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media having software encoded thereon, the software a learning machine process, when executed by a processor, operable to:
- determine a plurality of fate-sharing group (FSG) nodes in a computer network that are prone to simultaneously send an alarm upon detecting an event, wherein the learning machine process intercepts and stores alarms overtime to identify which particular FSG a particular node in the computer network belongs;
- elect one or more FSG owner nodes as a subset of the FSG nodes;
- and
- instruct the FSG group such that only FSG owner nodes send an alarm upon event detection.
