METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CLUSTERING ALARM EVENTS

A method generating a set of clustered real-time alarms includes receiving an alarm log having a plurality of entries corresponding to a plurality of alarms and determining a plurality of episodes of at least one alarm from the plurality of alarms. The method also includes determining a cluster of co-occurring alarms corresponding to each episode, to generate a plurality of clusters of co-occurring alarms. The method further includes identifying at least one set of clustered alarms from the plurality of clusters of co-occurring alarms. The method includes determining a causal alarm from the at least one set of clustered alarms and determining a cluster of correlated alarms associated with the casual alarm, from the at least one set of clustered alarms. The method also includes filtering a plurality of real-time alarms based on the cluster of correlated alarms to generate a set of clustered real-time alarms. FIG. 1.
