A Review of Zabbix - Zabbix Rules! (Part 1)

It was 1992, the Internet was still an uncertain “dream technology” by scientists, and I was working at SprintLink.   My role was the lead systems engineer to set up the network and security management center for SprintLink and Managed Router Network (MRN) team.

The Cyberwar Against Marketing Hype

When discussing CEP and EP, someone recently blogged:
“There is even one person who declared a full fledged cyber war on anybody who uses the term “complex event processing” not in what he believes to be the original intent of past DARPA project in the area of security and military operational applications.”

He then goes on to answer his own question,  reminding readers of the original CEP discussion of “event hierarchies,” now an apparent “quantum leap” technology.   When folks discuss “event hierarchies” they are actually discussing Classification in Complex Event Processing [...]

STAC has publicly stated that the stream processing engines they evaluate should not be called “complex event processing” platforms.  STAC refers to these this class of software as “event processing platforms” (EPP).
