Theory meets practice approach for Event Correlations.

Event correlation provides a powerful lever to analyze the events data to better manage the enterprise IT systems. While many event correlation algorithms are present in literature, applying them in practice presents many real-world challenges. In this paper, we present our experience with the challenges, the workarounds, and the opportunities in using event correlations in enterprise IT systems. We propose a domain-aware way to select the right scope of events for correlation, with self-tuning parameters and recommending right correlation signatures based on the use-case. We present the effectiveness of our ideas with a real-world case-study.
