In a network of managed devices, a method of processing network events to reduce
the number of events to be displayed in an event log, comprising receiving information
relating to network events, passing information regarding a network event to an
event processor, determining if the information passed to the event processor relates
to a type of event processed by that event processor, and if it is of such a type,
processing said information if information on a related event has already been
received by that event processor. The method also includes passing said information
on to a further event processor if the information received does not relate to
a type of event processed by said first event processor.
A set of event processors for carrying out the method is described together with
a computer program, or a program on a computer readable medium loadable into a
digital computer, or embodied in a carrier wave, which computer program operates
in accordance with the method.
