A method of correlating a plurality of event logs surrounding abnormal
program termination of a plurality of networked computers, includes
continuously generating event records that includes operating system
events, information technology (IT) infrastructure events and program
application events, transmitting and storing the event records to a
monitoring database, generating and transmitting an abnormal program
termination event record when a computer experiences abnormal program
termination to the monitoring database, and synchronizing the stored
event records and the abnormal program termination event record of the
computer based on receiving the abnormal program termination event record
at the monitoring database, and with respect to the abnormal program
termination event record. The method further includes creating and
storing a specific synchronized event log based on the synchronizing of
the event records and comparing it with previously stored synchronized
event logs to determine if one of a match and a specific degree of
similarity exists.
