Correlating computing network events

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method and technique for correlating computing network events is disclosed. The method includes: receiving a plurality of events at an event manager residing on a host computing system; identifying a first resource associated with a first event; identifying a second resource associated with a second event; determining whether the first resource is associated with a deployment pattern; determining whether the second resource is associated with a deployment pattern; and responsive to determining that the first and second resources are each associated with a deployment pattern, correlating the first and second events responsive to the first and second resources being associated with a common deployment pattern.
