a first regional cloud exchange platform, associated with a first regional cloud exchange, that includes:
a first regional cloud services monitoring engine; and
a first regional cloud exchange monitoring engine;
a second regional cloud exchange platform, associated with a second regional cloud exchange, that includes:
a second regional cloud services monitoring engine; and
a second regional cloud exchange monitoring engine;
an alert triaging engine, coupled to the first regional cloud exchange platform and the second regional cloud exchange platform;
a root cause determination engine, coupled to the alert triaging engine;
a new alert definition engine, coupled to the root cause determination engine; and
a constraints mapping engine, coupled to the new alert definition engine;
wherein, in operation,
the alert triaging engine:
collects first related alerts associated with the first regional cloud exchange platform, including a first alert and a second alert, in an incoming alert queue;
determines the first alert is a known alert;
identifies a hierarchy of alerts with which the first alert is associated;
performs automated recovery in association with the first alert and the second alert;
verifies recovery associated with the first alert and the second alert; and
alerts a customer with a third alert associated with the first alert and the second alert;
the root cause determination engine:
analyzes the first alert and the second alert to identify an underlying cause of the first alert and the second alert;
the new alert definition engine:
defines a new alert type based on the identified underlying cause; and
the constraints mapping engine:
updates a constraints datastore with characteristics of the new alert type to update the hierarchy of alerts.
