A control device of the management system creates multiple expanded rules based on the general rule and the configuration information, and if an event related to any of the multiple monitoring-target devices has occurred, identifies, based on the multiple expanded rules, a first conclusion event constituting a candidate for the cause of the occurred event, creates, based on the general plan information, one or more expanded plans, which are recovery plans that can be implemented if the first conclusion event is a cause, identifies an unresolved event based on the unresolved information, identifies a risk site based on the identified unresolved event, and displays data showing the first conclusion event, expanded plan, and risk site. | 03-06-2014 |

The computer, based on an event occurrence log including contents and an occurrence date and time of an event, determines a first event group, which is multiple events presumed to occur as a result of the same cause, creates a new rule in which the multiple events of the first event group are the condition events and one event of the first event group is the conclusion event, and stores the created new rule. | 08-21-2014 |
20150248319 | MANAGEMENT COMPUTER AND METHOD FOR ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS - In analyzing an elaborate computer system which requires large-scale or numerous event propagation models, a law-of-causality matrix gains size, so that significant amount of storage resources has been used in a management computer. To solve such a problem, the management computer to manage the computer system stores topologies, event propagation models, and causality information including one or more causal relations in the storage resources, determines, when the management computer analyzes or detects an event, whether a causal relation has already been created for the event to be analyzed, and creates the causal relation based on a topology and event propagation models, if not yet. | 09-03-2015 |
