A Review of Zabbix - Zabbix Rules! (Part 2)

In A Review of Zabbix - Zabbix Rules! (Part 1) we provided a brief introduction to Zabbix in the context of network and security management.  In this post I will discuss Zabbix as an event processing platform.
Zabbix is like most event processing platforms.  Zabbix provides both agent-initiated events as well as server-requested events.  [...]

Trend Prediction in Network Monitoring Systems

Following up on Real-Time Predictive Analytics for Web Servers I thought we should “move up a level” and look at various open network monitoring platforms with trend prediction capabilities.
Our web server management team picked Zabbix to monitor a busy production server and then we started to look into adding predictive analytics afterwards.   Alberto recommended we [...]

Probabilistic Complex Event Triggering

Reference:
Probabilistic Complex Event Triggering by Daisy Zhe Wang, Eirinaios Michelakis, and Liviu Tancau, Computer Science Division, University of California at Berkeley, Berkeley CA 94720, USA.
Abstract. Recently, wireless sensor devices have been widely deployed in various application settings (including environmental research, control systems, etc.). Because of the inherent unreliability of sensor readings, any kind of reasoning [...]

Towards a Streaming SQL Standard

In More Towards a Streaming SQL Standard, Marc Adler says, “Despite what I think about Streambase’s marketing and sales organization, you must admit that Zdonik and Cherniack are first-class researchers, and have contributed a lot to the field of CEP.”
I agree that these gentlemen are top notch researchers, witnessed by the fact that the authors do [...]

Streaming SQL Approaches Insist in Ignoring Causality by PatternStorm

The following excellent discussion is reposted from Streaming SQL approaches insist in ignoring causality by PatternStorm.
The recent paper “Towards a Streaming SQL Standard” by Oracle and Streambase unifies and generalizes two different execution models of Streaming SQL: Oracle’s and StreamBase’s.
While it’s true that the generalization succeeds in overcoming the unability of both execution models of producing [...]
