US Patent 10951496 System and method for cloud-based control-plane event monitor

A method for cloud-based, control-plane-event monitoring includes receiving control-plane events from a cloud-based element associated with a first and a second cloud environment. The received control-plane events are ingested from the cloud-based elements associated with the first and second cloud environments to generate a multiple-source data set from the control-plane events from the cloud-based elements associated with the first and second cloud environments. The multiple-source data set is then evaluated based on attributes of the first and second cloud environments in order to generate a common event data set. The common event data set is then processed using a rule set to generate an outcome.
