One of the benefits of working in different countries is to get the perspectives of various client’s*event*processing problems.****Of interest to*event processing professionals, companies are moving away from expensive software solutions*and increasingly*moving toward experimenting with economical and open software packages*to solve complex problems.***
Recently, I was talking with a client about*their experience with commercial security event management (SEM) solutions, for example ArcSight.** In his opinion, ArcSight was not a economically viable solution for his company, so*he recommended I take a look at Open Service Event Management (OSEM).*
*
OSEM*helps organizations collect, filter, and send problem reports for supported systems (ProLiant and Integrity) running compatible agents.** OSEM automatically send service event notifications when system problems*are detected.
I have not had a chance to look under the hood of OSEM and see how*it can be used to collect and send events to emerging rule-based event processing engines.*** However, this looks like an interesting lab project and I would like to hear from readers who has experimented with this systems architecture.
