Alert Correlation
Alert Correlation identifies and establishes relationships between alerts from different sources, helping you understand how issues across your infrastructure are connected and enabling more effective root cause analysis.
What is Alert Correlation?
Alert Correlation automatically discovers and maps relationships between alerts based on:
- Temporal relationships: Alerts occurring within similar timeframes
- Causal relationships: Alerts showing cause-and-effect patterns
- Dependency relationships: Alerts from related infrastructure components
- Pattern relationships: Alerts sharing similar characteristics or signatures
- Business relationships: Alerts affecting the same business services
