ALERT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USING ALERT CONTEXT-BASED ALERT RULES

An alert management system for a configuration management database (CMDB) platform includes a client instance configured to: apply a first filter of an alert rule to CMDB alerts to select a first alert based on context of the first alert and apply a second filter of the alert rule to the CMDB alerts to select a second alert based on context of the second alert, wherein the context of the first and second alerts includes details regarding the first and second alerts and associated configuration items (CIs). The client instance is also configured to: evaluate at least one condition of the alert rule using the context of the first and/or second alert; and in response to evaluating the at least one condition of the alert rule to be true, performing at least one action of the alert rule using the context of the first and/or second alert.
